I think he does believe he might be able to create a financial system outside of any government, and with that eventually a rules and information system completely independant of government as well. and change the world. That was probably what he originally was dreaming about with paypal.

I don't even hate the idea, though i doubt it would work or even be good.

i just wish he hadn't destroyed twitter to do it.

Yeah, when I look at the the problems inherent to our banking system, putting half of a new system under the control of one guy never makes my list of potential fixes.

But he's a fucking megalomaniac, so it makes perfect sense to him as long as he's the guy.

He might want a more modest goal, something like a US version of China’s WeChat where one can use the app to pay bills, order goods and transfer money to other users,

That’s a lucrative biz

Then he should have build one. Why kill an established app?

did he really kill the app, or lead the charge to save Western Civilization from the woke mind virus?

That sounds extremely hard.

He can afford to buy an existing app and risk its complete ruin…. and it’s a lot more fun for him.

that’s exactly what he wants.

Like most tech “innovations” lately, he wants to put a tiny top hat on someone else’s existing product, and market it as his own unique trailblazing idea.

Sorry if posted already.

Yeah, I'm not calling it that.

The stubborn stupidity of that guy really knows no bounds, does it?

The Twitter rebrand is a disaster – here's why

Far from signalling a bright new future, Elon Musk's decision to rebrand Twitter to X suggests the company is in more trouble than many thought

"The logo is not an original piece of work, but simply the ‘x’ glyph from Special Alphabets 4 font (making it impossible to trademark). "

She didn't tweet it, she xeet-ed it?

I keep head pronouncing it "yeeted"

As in: The judge yeeted a historically massive settlement ruling at X.com for violating Microsoft's trademark rights.

It's between yeeted it, and shitted it. Which is apt, I'll credit Musk for that.

Spotify's one service I don't feel ripped off by. The music access is insane and I'm using it like 16 hours a day.
