Guess you forgot how Paypal and other similar services were debanking conservatives

Or how Canada froze people's accounts

Or how GoFundMe has banned conservatives raising money for certain causes

Or how Chase has debanked people

If Elon is fair and doesn't do the woke crap listed above, he will crush them all.

Guy will need volume to justify spending money to keep this service up. Just don't see how they are going to get any volume in a crowded space. There must be over a dozen players already.

This service is not a bank you will still need your credit card etc. They are just another middle man to collect fees. Similar to apple pay, Google pay etc.

It's not a competing service to banks

I understand the play because if he can get any volume it's an easy money grab to collect 0.5% of every transaction

Yet. Bank of Mars coming soon

He wants the everything app, which does not exist outside of Asia. Twitter was the building block and it will succeed if done right. The future is not more apps, it is consolidated apps.

Have you tried to integrate Stripe for a B2C SaaS product?

It's fricking miserable.

I have no idea what X payments is or what it will be capable of, but I welcome any additional payment services in this space.
