Elon Musk predicts X will replace banks in 2024

> I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.

That’s fair. I imagine I wouldn’t need a bank account after trusting X with my finances.

Fax me the address of his magic mushrooms supplier. Potent stuff, I want some!

They can't handle blue check marks, but they will replace banks.

If you only ever say ridiculous things eventually it stops being interesting.

Title is editorialised to be even more sensationalist than the real one:

> Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank

Which when taken with the article’s content:

> He expects those features to launch by the end of 2024

Just means a date for when a feature will launch, not a “prediction” that the feature will be used by everyone by then.

He already makes enough outrageously imbecilic, misinformed, delusional, and false claims to fill newspapers, it’s not necessary to make up stuff by extrapolating from what was said.

We should come to HN for accuracy, not made up rage bait.

Musk should chance his doctor. The ketamine he is taking is not doing him any good: https://futurism.com/neoscope/elon-musk-ketamine .

as if we don't remember PayPal stealing from us

Is he not trying to do what got Microsoft, Google and Facebook split up into separate entities?

Elon Musk says a lot of things, yes.
