most weaving is done where the yarns cross each other perpendicularly, but im wondering if it is possible to also weave diagonally at the same time.

It is possible, It will be expensive to build machines to do that unless we are willing to pay $ 400 per shirt and a million shirts will be sold.

This is a standard exercise in antiracism/community awareness:
When all are gathered together, give every congregation or class member a ball of yarn. Have everyone throw their yarn ball to someone else while holding onto one end of the thread. Any ball caught should be thrown again until all the thread is used up. The result is a fabric woven in many directions that can be hung as art work.
This has been done many times.
If the process could be miniaturized, you could produce wearable fabric by a similar method.

Look up Native American basket weaving, blanket making and stuff like that. Also I remember some men's shirts from the 80's, that would have diagonal pinstripes of shiny thread.

I think it is possible but I cannot remember the name of the fabric.
