Elon Musk’s desire to create a one-stop super app in the US may have taken an interesting turn after Twitter acquired Laskie, a startup specializing in connecting tech talent with potential employers. Musk hinted at this larger strategy, but industry experts remain skeptical of his plans.
X, Twitter’s parent company, acquired Laskie in an effort to make it easier for users to set up profiles and find job opportunities.
