He has something in the works w visa and I am scared to learn what exactly

canwil.bsky.social•6 days ago

Evidently, VISA is going to partner with him. Time to add them to the list, I suppose.

It makes for free loans, kinda like all the cash on Starbucks gift cards.

Musk is counting on fools.

and that's why he had to dismantle the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau...

taz1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yep has always been his plan.
He has been spewing that for years.
Except now it will be banking for all.
FDIC gone.
Central bank of X

Musk actually got his big break in the digital payments space, as the https://X.com digital bank startup he cofounded was a predecessor to PayPal, making Musk one of the core members of the “PayPal mafia” including billionaire Peter Thiel and President Donald Trump's “AI & Crypto czar” David Sacks.

Yup, it’s been a dream of his. Thanks to trump and the extreme lack of any fucking pushback from current and previous US leaders (both parties), it’s on track to become a reality for Americans.

Just like Trump... he was slighted when he wanted to call PayPal "X" and he's been out for revenge for 20 years.

His first app that bought pay pal was a banking app. Pay pal was better so it was the direction they went. His only contribution was insisting they call it X. He was forced down from CEO before he could ruin it.

mofromme.bsky.social•6 days ago

Never mind he sold it

mofromme.bsky.social•6 days ago

Which he also owns by the way

mofromme.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yup

I think any/all of his public facing businesses will have a tough time attracting willing customers for quite a while.

Hopefully that means attracting investment will be difficult and more importantly, expensive.

Serves him right, fucking fascist twat.

mphamner.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yep! And to get around all those pesky interstate banking regulations and so on he has now partnered with Visa. Get ready for X-Money!

I left the other day for good. I had only gone back for the election cycle, but I had enough. We’re here.
