“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!

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.

Best he will do is another paypal/venmo thing. No way its gonna be a bank.

I mean, he wanted Paypal originally (and to name it X), so this just seems like the end goal he was trying to get to the whole time.

And it will still crash and burn. Gloriously so.
