Turning Twitter into a bank is like buying the NFL and then telling fans they won't believe how good at chess all the teams are going to be.

  @maxeddy I wonder if it occurs to him that PayPal/eBay didn't do these things because they were shitty ideas that wouldn't go anywhere

  1. Screenshot from the Verge that reads: "The original plan for X.com is clearly on Musk’s mind. “The X/PayPal product roadmap was written by myself and David Sacks actually in July of 2000,” Musk said on Thursday’s internal X call. “And for some reason PayPal, once it became eBay, not only did they not implement the rest of the list, but they actually rolled back a bunch of key features, which is crazy. So PayPal is actually a less complete product than what we came up with in July of 2000, so 23 years ago.”"
