“If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”

Just wait till Musk learns about banking regulations.
He’s already complaining about the EU regulations on social media, but they nothing compared to what banks have to deal with.He’s recreating Venmo. 😂

Unsure, but he wants to give it to ya.
Buy a social media company because you know there’s no way you’ll ever make one naturally
Claim that it’s too full of bots and try to walk out, despite having already signed the deal

Rebrand the social media network for no good reason, tanking value
Drive advertisers away by changing the algorithm that helped make site so good
Lose millions in company net worth and become an internet laughing stock
…Have the bright idea to save the company by also making it a… banking provider…
?!
His first garbage idea. He’s super nostalgic for X the platform her merged with PayPal to become super wealthy especially after the people that knew what they were doing had to pay him to leave.

Lmao what the actual fuck is he smoking today? This shit is wild.
