I mean its served his purpose so musk has minimal use for it now...

Wrong. He's definitely deadset on X.com being Da Everything App.

This again? It's not going to happen.

He's best buds with the fascist-in-chief this time.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 20 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 hours ago

Is he? I haven't heard anything about it for a year.

It's been his dream since before Paypal. Now he has a leg-up on the competition and his hands in the treasury

I believe he wants it to a payment thing like PayPal or some shit. And I imagine that's what his lackies are doing in the Treasury. He will force the US to use it for all their payments. I wouldn't be surprised with like X bucks too.
