From Wikipedia: "[In 1999] Musk co-founded X.com, a direct bank. X.com merged with Confinity in 2000 to form PayPal."
Apparently he kept the x.com domain and never lost the desire to be a bank?
- Strom 3y agoHe didn't keep the x.com domain. He purchased it from PayPal in 2017. [1] Indeed at the time Musk tweeted Thanks PayPal for allowing me to buy back http://X.com http://X.com! No plans right now, but it has great sentimental value to me.
