Elon Musk has announced that his company, X Corp., is considering the revival of the short-form video platform Vine, known for its 6-second video format. This statement comes in the wake of TikTok's ban in the United States, suggesting a strategic move to fill the gap left by the absence of the popular short-form video app. Vine was shut down in 2016 after struggling to compete with platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Musk's interest in bringing back Vine aligns with his vision for X to become an 'everything app', potentially integrating short-form video sharing into its ecosystem.
