Elon Musk is actively looking for talented software engineers to help develop his ambitious “everything app.” In a recent social media post, Musk called for passionate coders to join his team, and emphasized that traditional qualifications are not necessary. But, what exactly is the Everything App? Here’s everything you need to know.

What is Elon Musk’s everything app?

The “Everything App” is at the core of Musk’s plan to revolutionize X into a one-stop solution for all users’ needs. Unclear? Well, Musk wants to create an X app similar to China’s WeChat. The app will integrate a wide range of services including payments, messaging, streaming, and e-commerce, making it a multi-purpose tool for users.

During an internal meeting in October 2023, Musk explained that X was being rapidly transformed from “Twitter 1.0” to a platform that would include a variety of services. This change aims to make X more than just a social network, providing a solution where users can access multiple services through a single app.

Additionally, X CEO Linda Yaccarino recently announced that financial services and streaming options under X Money and X TV will be introduced in 2025. Additionally, improvements to X’s AI chatbot Grok are also planned, which will add more functionality to the platform.

Job Offers and Requirements for Software Engineers

In a unique approach to hiring, Musk has called for software engineers who are fond of coding, regardless of their educational background or previous employers. In his post, Musk stressed that traditional qualifications are not required and asked interested candidates to send their best coding work directly to X.

“If you’re a hardcore software engineer and want to build an Everything app, please join us by sending your best work to Code@x.com,” Musk wrote. He said it doesn’t matter where candidates previously went to school or worked, as long as they have the coding skills and dedication needed for the job.

This appointment philosophy is in line with Musk’s views on education, where he has advocated for a problem-solving-based system rather than the current model that relies heavily on memorization and standardized tests. He has consistently promoted skills-based education, prioritizing real-world coding ability over traditional degrees.
