Elon Musk calls the idea of a Twitter dating app "interesting."

Elon Musk shared his response to a tweet suggesting a dating feature be added to his newly-acquired social media platform, Twitter. When content creator Steven Mark Ryan of the Youtube channel Solving The Money Problem shared a Tweet suggesting the new feature, Musk quickly replied. The tech mogul called the idea "interesting," adding that the feature could potentially lead to "jobs too." Ryan's tweet called for Musk to consider the feature's potential, claiming it "Might actually save humanity from extinction." The YouTuber's tweet also called the idea "Very low hanging fruit," adding, "Twinder would be HUGE."

Ryan offered to "make an entire video on how this opt-in app would work and why it would be 10x better than conventional dating apps." He also called Twitter "the EVERYTHING app." The content creator's tweet came as a reply to Musk's tweet expressing concern for "population collapse." Musk's expression of concern for a population crisis comes after he already made public claims that he believes "a collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far."

Musk Adding Features To Twitter

Since acquiring Twitter in 2022, he made changes to the platform's verification process. Now, users can pay to become verified on Twitter, which many users feel is counterintuitive. The change in the site's verification feature has also led to various public figures having blue checkmarks removed from their profiles. Moreover, several public figures have spoken out about Musk's decision to change the feature. Artists like Doja Cat, Lil Nas X and more have expressed annoyance for their verification being taken away unjustifiably.

Musk continually faces a great amount of backlash for the changes he made to the platform thus far. The billionaire has also shared his plans to add new features to the platform, including voice and video calling features. Additionally, Musk has revealed that Twitter is working towards adding payment features to Twitter. Let us know what you think of this potential idea, in the comments section down below.
