“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.”

I'm confused. The article keeps mention "X". What is "X" about?

[–] Huschke@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago

No idea so I googled x and videos and found porn. That's probably it.

Maybe they are talking about that defunct bank that eventually became PayPal? Apparently Musk got booted from CEO position less than a year past launch.

It's twitter but Musk lost the rights to the brand identity despite overpaying billions for every share of the company so he calls it X, now.
