    Maybe you didn't vote for Musk but you voted for Trump (correct me if I'm wrong) and in doing so you got co-president Musk as a bonus. Said it before Elon Musk bought himself a co-presidency for $277 million. I always thought that the Constitution limited the presidency to natural born citizens of the US. South African born Elon Musk has proven me wrong.

    There's no conflict of interest at all with this. None! You can trust Elon and Donald - they're very honest!!


    Elon Musk’s X begins its push into financial services with Visa deal

    Visa will enable X users to move funds between traditional bank accounts and their digital wallet and make instant peer-to-peer payments, like with Zelle or Venmo. It’s the first concrete move from X to create a financial ecosystem for the social media site.

    Elon Musk has become what he talked about the most these last few years, the most dangerous threat to the US.

    He now has the biggest media outlet and access to every dollar and cent we have in circulation. Trump at this point is a figurehead.

    This is extremely dangerous, even if it's trying to be done with good intentions. The checks and balances where put in place for a reason.

    Checks and balances were done when the pub senate refused to vote on the evidence in the impeachment. Both times evidence was overwhelming, both times pubs broke their oath o be fair and impartial jurors.

    What happens going forward is 100% on those voters who voted for the felon

    'The payment system in question is run by a handful of career officials within the Bureau of the Fiscal Service - which controls the flow of more than $6 trillion annually to households, businesses, and other entities nationwide - and includes Social Security, Medicare, federal salaries, payments to government contractors, tax refunds, grant recipients, and more'.

    It's now THE DEMS responsibility to counteract all this? Really?!?!

    How 'bout concerned Repub citizens and their elected representatives, or anyone who chose not to vote, or even Wall Street stand up and do something.

    The choice for Project 2025 was made in November. FAFO.
