It's because Musk got his feelings hurt. When PayPal formed, he and his money transfer idea were thrown out because he wanted to make a service doing exactly this and name it "X". Many of us predicted this happening.
- robertlagrant 2y agoDidn't he say he wanted to do this? I'm not sure how much predicting was necessary.
- pram 2y agoYes, he also said people sending payments on Twitter would become 50% of the world financial system (lol)
- MBCook 2y agoHe’s been trying to make an everything-including-payments thing called X for decades. He did say he’d do this with Twitter, but as GP points out it wasn’t a new idea for him then. This is a “keep doing the same thing until it works to prove I was right and those others who forced me out were idiots with no vision” kind of a thing.
