Elon Musk is preparing a competitor for YouTube: what is known about the new service

Social platform X (Twitter) is going to release a new video hosting service that will compete with YouTube. According to Reuters, the application will be available on Amazon and Samsung TVs, and its interface will be similar to the well-known video hosting service.

The founder of X (Twitter) and the famous billionaire Elon Musk has already announced that long videos will soon be available on smart TVs. This news comes after the platform released an early version of video and audio calls for selected users last October.

It is known that Musk plans to turn the X platform into a super app that will combine a variety of services, from messaging to peer-to-peer payments. In his short response to the user's post, Musk confirmed that the platform's long videos will be able to be viewed directly on smart TVs.

According to Fortune, the new program may resemble Google's YouTube TV program. Thus, Musk is going to compete with YouTube, aiming to become one of the leading video platforms.

In addition, the billionaire plans to compete with the online broadcasting service Twitch and the messenger Signal. Thus, the market can expect the emergence of new programs from the businessman that will compete with well-known players in this market.

X's strong efforts to create its own video hosting service include partnership agreements with former Fox commentators such as Tucker Carlson and former CNN anchors such as Don Lemon. This indicates the company's serious intentions to enter the video market and gain its place among competitors.
