Analysis
Musk recently said he is "considering" relaunching the Vine short-video service. Vine was a free mobile app owned by Twitter (now known as X) that allowed users to create short videos up to 10 seconds long and share them on social networks, such as Twitter and Facebook. On October 27, 2016, Twitter announced it would shut down Vine as part of a company restructuring, but uploaded videos were not deleted. It is unclear whether Musk will actually relaunch Vine, or what the relaunched service would look like. Some analysts believe relaunching Vine could help Twitter attract more younger users and compete with short-video platforms like TikTok. However, others worry that relaunching Vine could distract Twitter from its core business.
