Musk faces major challenges to get there, though. Convincing people why they need such a platform is one. Getting them to trust X with their entire financial life is another.
It’s less about trusting X but trusting Musk. Trying to make an “everything app” with him in charge just feels dystopian.
I just feel like musk wants a western version of wechat for a hybrid user base of hardcore republicans and hardcore libertarians. That seems like such a fundamental oxymoron… but here we are.
And in fact, I hate to say it, but given how good those groups of people are at bending reality and making themselves conform to a warped capitalist standard, it might just work out for a while. But more than likely it’ll probably also go the way of “trump bucks” or whatever those psycho-loyalist cryptocoins were called. Basically it’ll end up a big old miserable fraud.
The again if it’s Elon’s coin on the table I’m not so sure I care. He’s just ruining spacex, tesla, et. al. Let him bleed money.
What’s genuinely sad is that the people who can’t bail from twitter quickly will be spitroasted by musk in the process.
Trying to make an “everything app” with him in charge just feels dystopian.
Trying to make an “everything app” at all, whoever is in charge is dystopian. Given the conspiracy theorists’ general alarm at new world order, one world government type scenarios it’s a wonder he isn’t pilloried for this by the same mad bastards who advocate for him. Maybe he is and I just haven’t kept up
Yeah, so why is Bill Gates 5G microchip the conspiracy? Why not Elon Musk Starlink Neuralink? There is an actual evil mad scientist selling the technologies they are actually scared of, why don’t they just point their fears at the actual danger?
That sounds dangerous. Most people don’t reach their ideas through reason. I don’t want to lose empathy for all humanity no matter how ignorant they are.

Sure, let me give all my money to the broke billionaire with the bad investment history - what could go wrong?!

It takes two to spitroast.
Elon literally wants an underclass of peasants that owe him money so he can ship them off to Mars and act as his indentured servants.

The man is a fucking idiot.

Musk isnt Teh Gummint so he cant be part of Teh Ner Werld Erder

Sir, we do not try to understand the reasoning of people who did not reach their ideas though reason.
That sounds dangerous. Most people don’t reach their ideas through reason. I don’t want to lose empathy for all humanity no matter how ignorant they are.
Welll they have no empathy at all for you so I guess you take your chances
Even before Musk I wouldn’t have trusted Twitter with my finances or even just my credit card.
