As I live in china now ,currently I'm not trust the software that bind with your social media, think of that, when you make some comments one day and your account is banned,it is difficult for you to withdraw your money from it (of course now Wechat has a way to withdraw it)

Absolutely. Something similar happened to a homeowner who automated their entire home with an Amazon account. Then Amazon for some stupid reason decided that he was racist because the delivery guy misstook the ring bell for being racist (?!). Amazon banned his account. And his entire home stopped working. It took weeks for him to recover. This is absolute bullshit. But Twitter has no chance anyway

I highly recommend getting away from banks and using credit unions. They're chartered as non-profits and thus don't have the same kind of perverse incentives that banks do to, say, re-order the accounting of your checks to maximize the insufficient funds fees you pay.

> X CEO Linda Yaccarino said the company sees this becoming a “full opportunity” in 2024. “It would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year,” Musk said.

Something something full self driving any day now.

This is a great idea. Banking and social media are meant to be together like peanut butter and jelly.

Petroleum jelly.

Never had that but it sounds delicious.

Keep an eye out for the Kentucky Jam the next time you're in the supermarket.

This almost feels like satire.

Doesn't twitter have $Billions in debt?

Also Musk told it's main source of revenue (i.e. advertisers) to 'go fuck themselves'.

Please take my money.

Didn't he give them 6 months to do this a few months ago?

that'd be great
