“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.”

Ignoring the Elon factor….it will still be a bank account. It will just be a bank account that can only be managed through twitter.

Thats not a better banking experience.

it will be a banking experience where musk will get all of your banking data. I bet that's why he's so into it and the "do everything" super app approach.

Oh definitely. The ad revenue potential would eclipse anything he’s ever done before if he can pull it off.
