Musk has close ties with the DoD (Satellites, Rockets) What makes people think he doesn't with the rest of the institutions (CIA/NSA/FED)? Specially when the whole shebang been in the works for "a very long time", according to the FED: https://www.federalreserve.gov/central-bank-digital-currency.htm https://www.federalreserve.gov/central-bank-digital-currency... Same with the BRICS: " Promote Central Bank Digital Currency for faster digitisation of nancial services and greater nancial inclusion" https://brics2021.gov.in/brics/public/uploads/docpdf/getdocu-57.pdf https://brics2021.gov.in/brics/public/uploads/docpdf/getdocu... The West seems shy about it, I tried my best, but I do not understand why they use Musk as the 'Messiah', or perhaps it's a decoy? Perhaps to avoid this: https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/how-the-nsa-spies-on-international-bank-transactions-a-922430.html https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/how-the-nsa-spies... Journalists fail to educate me on the matter, so I dig on my own, perhaps my own grave Anyway, I love to remind people of this: "Elon Musk said he was a Secret Service 'special agent'" https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tesla-spacex-secret-service-special-agent-filing-donation-2021-4?r=US&IR=T https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tesla-spacex-secre... This is, at least, funny :)

I suspect the IC wants nothing to do with Musk in terms of collaboration, given his erratic nature and extreme narcissism. Wouldn’t bet against him being used by the IC for the same reasons though!

It wouldn't surprise me if all of FAANG and most of the Fortune 500 has close ties with the 3-letter agencies. Elon proudly sharing details about his pre-school ridealong is about all the evidence you need to prove that casual cooperation is the norm.

Highly doubt X will be a CBDC or social credit system. PayPal isn’t, venmo isn’t. In a free market you have many competing products that are used by different people. No one is going to switch 100% of their banking to X. (Ok someone will but it’ll be rare and weird). People will have bank accounts, PayPal, credit cards, X, gift cards, venmo, bitcoin, eth, etc. etc.

> CIA/NSA/FED This is the second time I’m seeing this grouping, so now I’m curious. Where does it come from? Is it sarcasm, or are people that naïve about how our government is organised?

What's up with CDBCs and conspiracy theories being so closely associated?

  you just take a paranoiac anti-institutionalist cryptoperson and tell them that yes there will be a “crypto revolution,” but that the feds (and/or The Fed and/or the FED — all interchangeable) will be behind it. Sleight of the century!
