Elon Musk announced Thursday that he plans to bring Vine back to life, but ‘in AI form.’
Originally launched in 2012, Vine was a popular platform where users shared six-second looping videos.
The platform was acquired a year later by Twitter under Jack Dorsey’s leadership and remained active until its shutdown in 2017.
Musk shared the news on X with few details, suggesting that all content would be AI-generated.
The post has thousands of comments, many applauding the billionaire for the move.
‘AI + short-form video = future of content,’ one X user commented.
Others suggested the move would not only take TikTok, but also replace human influencers.
However, Musk has suggested reviving Vine multiple times since purchasing Twitter in 2022 for $40 billion. On October 30, 2022, he posted a poll asking users if Vine should return, with 69 percent voting ‘Yes.’
