A super app, or what Mr Musk refers to as an "Everything app", has been described as the Swiss army knife of mobile apps, with a suite of services including messaging, social networking, peer-to-peer payments and e-commerce shopping.

Adding more tools and services to Twitter could also help the billionaire reach his lofty goal to expand the app's number of users from 237 million to "At least a billion".
