“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.”

Well that sounds terrifying!

Seems like he is going ahead with the X "The Everything App" idea. I'm glad I use parts of the Fediverse and hope to build my own instance at some stage as I really don't want people like Musk owning my data let alone charge me for it and control my money.

He'll just steal it. And if you fight back, he'll sue you into oblivion. It's the capitalist way.
