Elon Musk's X Shifts Gears to Become a Job-Search Hub
Elon Musk's vision for the multifaceted platform X expands beyond social media to encompass diverse functionalities. Previously limited to expressing opinions briefly, X now ventures into the realm of job-search, with Musk's aspirations for the platform coming to fruition. Over 1 million companies have already utilized X to post job listings across various sectors, marking a significant shift in its purpose.
Among its recent developments, X has introduced audio and video calling features to enhance user experience. Initially reserved for premium subscribers, these features are now available to all users, showcasing the platform's commitment to inclusivity and accessibility. Enrique Barragan, an engineer at X, announced this update, signalling a broader accessibility to the app's communication capabilities.
While audio and video calling were initially exclusive to iOS premium subscribers, X extended these features to Android users earlier this year. Elon Musk had previously hinted at a wider rollout, underscoring the company's dedication to refining the feature before its universal adoption.
Furthermore, X introduces a new feature allowing users to customize their call settings. Users can now opt to receive calls exclusively from individuals they follow or from any user on the platform, offering greater control over their communication preferences.
These advancements diversify X's functionality and reflect Musk's strategic vision for the platform's evolution. As X continues to expand its capabilities, it positions itself as more than just a social networking site, catering to diverse user needs and preferences.
