Elon Musk has taken the first step in transforming Twitter from a social media app to X, the multi-use app. While Musk had changed the appearance of the app along with the logo a while back, he is now implementing some new features in it. This started off with opening monetization for creators which brought in more people to the platform.
His latest feature in the works targets the audience of Twitch and YouTube. The first demonstration of the feature went perfectly, with Elon Musk playing Diablo 4 for the masses. Now the netizens have given their verdict on the feature, with generally positive reviews.

Musk showcased his gaming skills with the stream, while also showing his favorite Diablo 4 builds. He tried to complete a Tier 100 Nightmare dungeon in the game live in front of the audience. But the biggest achievement after this gaming session would be still the perfect execution of the live stream feature.

However, there were some bugs present in the live-streaming feature too, which many fans pointed out.
Here's a handful of things I'm noticing:
On Mobile
– Viewer count doesn't increase or decline after you expand the livestream view.

Musk was quick to heed to those issues, even claiming it will be fixed quite soon.
The broadcast upped sound frequency by 4 kHz 😂
But easy to fix.
