Elon Musk’s X To Launch New Features To Make Live Content More Engaging, Improve Discoverability To Reach Wider Audience
New Delhi, May 16: Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Thursday said the X platform will soon launch more features to make live content more engaging and reach a wider audience. When X senior security engineer Nathan McGrady asked what is the worst thing about live content on the platform, a user replied: “Discoverability”.
“It’s not being pushed by the algorithm. There’s no dedicated live content tab,” said the X user. He further said that people viewing the live content are completely dependent on the performance of a tweet. “That’s not an incredibly reliable way to discover,” he posted. The tech billionaire replied: “High priority fix”. OpenAI Co-Founder and Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever Departs, Sam Altman Announces Jakub Pachocki as New Chief Scientist.

Another Musk follower suggested that he would love to see being able to go live with a group of users, like “host a panel discussion or debate, like StreamYard and other tools”. Super chats will also arrive for live content soon, said the company. Some X users also raised questions about the edit button that has been taken off the live videos after the live stream is over.

“That was a super valuable tool that makes the ‘replay’ look less appealing,” said a user. Last week, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO said users can post movies, TV series or podcasts on the platform and earn money.
