“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.”

In March 2000, Confinity merged with x.com, an online financial services company founded in March 1999 by Elon Musk, Harris Fricker, Christopher Payne, and Ed Ho.[12]

I think this quote proves the point I'm making.

Sorry for saying it was PayPal directly he founded, but it seems they pretty much bought the platform from Musk at put another label on it. (and ofc added to it)
