“If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”

He was involved with PayPal so it’s not a huge stretch but I wouldn’t trust anything with that clown.

He was ousted from PayPal before it become PayPal. Actually his name for the service was X, so this might be long awaited dream.

He really wasn’t that involved. He was trying to build an everything app. Peter Theil went with PayPal and booted Elon.
