Musk's concept of the everything app or a super app is an all encompassing application which offers a range of services to users including messaging, social networking, peer-to-peer payments and e-commerce shopping, among others as informed in a Reuters report.
Such apps are particularly popular in Asia such as the WeChat in China that has more than a billion monthly users. The app allows users to book a car or taxi, send money to friends and family or make payments at stores, the report said.
