Musk faces major challenges to get there, though. Convincing people why they need such a platform is one. Getting them to trust X with their entire financial life is another.
It’s less about trusting X but trusting Musk. Trying to make an “everything app” with him in charge just feels dystopian.

Trying to make an “everything app” at all, whoever is in charge, is dystopian. Given the conspiracy theorists’ general alarm at new world order, one world government type scenarios it’s a wonder he isn’t pilloried for this by the same mad bastards who advocate for him instead. Maybe he is and I just haven’t kept up
I just feel like musk wants a western version of wechat for a hybrid user base of hardcore republicans and hardcore libertarians. That seems like such a fundamental oxymoron… but here we are.
And in fact, I hate to say it, but given how good those groups of people are at bending reality and making themselves conform to a warped capitalist standard, it might just work out for a while. But more than likely it’ll probably also go the way of “trump bucks” or whatever those psycho-loyalist cryptocoins were called. Basically it’ll end up a big old miserable fraud.
The again if it’s Elon’s coin on the table I’m not so sure I care. He’s just ruining spacex, tesla, et. al. Let him bleed money.
What’s genuinely sad is that the people who can’t bail from twitter quickly will be spitroasted by musk in the process.

Sure, let me give all my money to the broke billionaire with the bad investment history - what could go wrong?!

Elon literally wants an underclass of peasants that owe him money so he can ship them off to Mars and act as his indentured servants.

The man is a fucking idiot.
It takes two to spitroast.
Even before Musk I wouldn’t have trusted Twitter with my finances or even just my credit card.
