Well that’s unfortunate. I’d love to toss my savings into something this impulsively reckless dingus concocted

There are going to be a lot of people saying how stupid this entire concept is in the comments.
Let me tell you something, as a person who spent years in finance. There’s no fucking chance on Earth this happens. You will win the Powerball twice consecutively before Musk pulls this off.
None of this infrastructure exists in X and all of this infrastructure is exactly the kind of shit Musk hates.
Adoption aside, which you’d have to be fucking insane to adopt this platform as a payments platform, the regs alone will ensure this never, ever, materializes.
What Musk describes will someday exist. He will not be involved, and the day is well over a decade away.

He’s going to make a Robinhood/PayPal clone and it’s not going to work. Why? Because we already have Robinhood and PayPal.
It’s just such a dumb idea, the only people that will fall for it are cryptobros.

Amazing. This will go worst than his proclamation that self-driving cars will be the norm today.

All true, but there’s no detail in that article saying that’s what he wants to do. Copying Apple’s approach where they’re a front end to an existing bank, also fits the narrative.
I wonder if an app to unite all your online services would be legit, but I can’t see those services cooperating with that, so you’d effectively have to be malware

More like, he fired every one who would dare to say that. And those who still are with him know it’s a stupid idea to tell him that.
