?? Musk's Vision for X Financial Services: New documents obtained by Bloomberg reveal Elon Musk's ambitious plans for X, formerly Twitter, including a focus on financial services. Since Musk took over in 2022, the platform has faced significant financial challenges, largely due to a drop in ad revenue as advertisers reacted to platform changes and controversies.

?? Meta Launches Threads API: Meta has launched its long-awaited API for Threads, allowing developers to create richer experiences. Now developers can publish posts, manage replies, and access analytics such as views, likes, and reposts. This move aims to enhance user interaction and content management within the platform. We cannot wait to make this accessible to everyone in the coming days, stay tuned!?

?? Instagram Enhances Music Integration: Instagram is expanding music integration by allowing users to add music tracks to carousel posts that include video clips. This update aims to enrich user content and engagement, possibly setting the stage for competition with TikTok in the U.S. as an impending ban looms.?

?? TikTok’s AI Innovations: TikTok has introduced generative AI avatars for creators and stock actors for branded content and ads. Additionally, they're rolling out an AI Dubbing tool to broaden the reach of ads and branded content.

?? YouTube’s New Feature: YouTube is testing a new feature called “Notes,” allowing creators to add contextual information beneath videos. Similar to Community Notes on X, this feature helps clarify content, such as identifying parodies or indicating when older footage is used.
