$9.74 billion for the trash fire that is Twitter is honestly a really good offer, the muskrat should definitely take that.
I mean its served his purpose so musk has minimal use for it now...
Wrong. He's definitely deadset on X.com being Da Everything App.
This again? It's not going to happen.
He's best buds with the fascist-in-chief this time.
It won't but he still wants it bad enough to cling to it
My guess would be he wants ChatGPT because he can't seem to get Grok working, lol
Grok seems to be working fine. It's about as competent as... Gpt4.
Seeing how Tesla sales took a nosedive after Musk went full Nazi and the eXodus is still ongoing, the everything app is not going to be popular.
I believe he wants it to a payment thing like PayPal or some shit. And I imagine that's what his lackies are doing in the Treasury. He will force the US to use it for all their payments. I wouldn't be surprised with like X bucks too.
Thiel had the board of Paypal vote to boot Musk out of the company while Musk was on his honeymoon. I can only hope something similar could happen while he is in DC sleeping at the foot of Trump's bed.
Agreed but something being unpopular never stopped him before
Is he? I haven't heard anything about it for a year.
It's been his dream since before Paypal. Now he has a leg-up on the competition and his hands in the treasury
OK but he has different toys now
Trying to make sense of his obsession with making an American WeChat is a fool's errand
You're missing my point.
It's understood that he's periodically wanted to do this thing.
I'm saying that I'm not sure there is any actual focus on it at the moment or in the near future, since I haven't heard anything about it for a year. I'm trying to ask if there's evidence the dude cares or if he's fucked off to other stuff.
There's no hard evidence that he's actively pursuing it nor that he's abandoned it, no.
