The popular Clubhouse app is growing exponentially, with more and more high-profile celebrities joining the platform every day. According to Tesla founder Elon Musk, Kanye West is up next on the audio-only app.
As Musk explained in a tweet on Wednesday afternoon (February 10), “Just agree to do Clubhouse with @kanyewest.” He added, “The most entertaining outcome is the most likely.” Musk, however, didn’t provide any further context as to what the conversation would entail.
Clubhouse, which recently received a $1 billion valuation, is seeing so much success, Facebook is reportedly in talks to mirror the app on its own platform. The New York Times reports two people close to the situation confirmed Facebook CEO Mark Zuckberg has been interested in audio communication forms and shared his thoughts on augmented and virtual reality in the Clubhouse app on Sunday (February 7).
The two sources, who agreed to speak under a cloak of anonymity, said Facebook executives have ordered employees to create a similar product, known internally as Fireside. The product is in its earliest stages of development and the project’s code name is tentative.
Facebook spokeswoman Emilie Haskell reportedly said, “We’ve been connecting people through audio and video technologies for many years and are always exploring new ways to improve that experience for people.
As for the Kanye conversation, no date has been announced. But if his manic 2018 TMZ Live appearance or tear-filled abortion rant at his first presidential rally last July are any indication, expect fireworks.
Strange how everyone hates on Kanye yet Elon thinks he is a genius and says he inspired him, and is always hanging with him tough, regardless of how weirdo christian Kanye gets. LOL. I’m sure everyone is a lot smarter than Elon…
kanye should be recognised for his music not fucking elon musk. i mean jesus christ.
Well said. He has 21 Grammys and over 70+ nominations and his company etc is worth over 2 Billion. People are letting the crazy of now overshadow his legacy. Michael Jackson was a grade A weirdo. Thriller and Off the Wall are still classics. I don’t think it is an insult to his legacy to have one of the most brilliant minds ever, specially of our generation, praising him.
grammy awards to one side i just think he can do better. it is about his reputation and it got flushed down the toilet a long time ago. his mental illness, the kardashians that ass of his ex-wife it is a bit disgusting. break all those ties and just put out some real decent tunes whether they are about god or not the brother needs some kind of direction. i am not a big fan of kanye west i remember how he came up i do like the track can’t tell me nothing just needs to get his reputation straightened out from now on.
we had chat party lines in the 80s n 90s wasnt worth billons then not worth it now but cash on out i suppose just billionaires laundering money at this point “tech”
It’s funny when these publishers talk about Kanye they always say “rants” or try to belittle him for having open and honest emotion. Expected to walk a straight line and “act normal” like everyone else as if everyone else is normal. Everyone is a judge.
Just be you and report the news and keep it moving.
Wow! This Would Be Amazing.
