As soon as he acquired Twitter, Musk wanted to "revive" short video applications against TikTok

Source: On October 31, China Daily, Elon Musk, the new CEO of Twitter, launched a poll to netizens: Do you want to "revive" the short video application Vine? Vine, a short video sharing application owned by Twitter, was closed in 2016.
So far, about 4.92 million people have voted in the Mask survey, and nearly 70% of netizens have voted in favor of it.
In the comment area, a popular message on YouTube commented: "If you did that and actually competed with tik tok that'd be hilarious.".
After half a year's tug of war, the world's richest man, Musk, officially entered Twitter after the formal completion of the US $44 billion acquisition last week, and began to make drastic reforms.
On his first day in office, he dismissed the former CEO, CFO and other executives of Twitter, and disclosed that he planned to cut 75% of Twitter's employees and restore the personal account of former President Trump of the United States.
But even with a new leader, Twitter still faces a serious crisis.
According to the last financial report of Twitter, the revenue of Twitter in the second quarter of this year was 1.18 billion US dollars, down 1% year on year, with a net loss of 270 million US dollars.
The growth of Twitter users is also declining.
How to lead Twitter out of the dilemma, Musk turned his attention to TikTok.
As the most popular short video platform overseas at present, TikTok has attracted the attention of a large number of young people, and has become the target of all major technology companies to emulate.
Facebook, an old rival, copied TikTok almost intact and launched its own short video product Reels.
YouTube, a video giant, has launched Short, a short video application that looks like TikTok from interface to function.
But few people remember that the earliest short video application in the American market was Vine, which was acquired by Twitter in 2012.
It is reported that Vine allowed people to shoot short videos of six seconds in length, and then quickly shared them on social networks.
One day after the release, Vine entered the first place in the social application category of the App Store.
After a brief resplendence, Vine saw a zigzag decline in monthly new users in 2014, which has not been reversed since then.
In 2016, Twitter announced the closure of Vine.
Six years after the closure of Vine, Twitter, its former owner, has also changed to a new owner.
Vine, swept into the historical garbage heap, returns to the vision of Musk and fans.
