...getting them to trust an organization head by the (to be extremely charitable) mercurial Musk is another challenge.

@dangillmor Lol, at least he is entertaining.

@dangillmor
"And for some reason PayPal, once it became eBay, not only did they not implement the rest of the list, but they actually rolled back a bunch of key features, which is crazy"

Before you go repeating history, maybe you should consider what that reason was - I'd suggest it may have been they rolled back a bunch of features that were implemented by a crazy person. 😂

@dangillmor well said!

@dangillmor Can't imagine anyone on Mastodon would be signing up for this tbh

@dangillmor Yeah but a very very large number of people lost a lot in bitcoin. I'm thinking it'll be more popular than most think.

@dangillmor

This is similar to that asshole John McAfee coming up with some program that would give you one master password a few years before he croaked.

What kind of idiot would give John McAfee all their passwords? This is what that shithead Elon Musk doesn’t know yet. People aren’t as gullible as he thinks.

@dangillmor

The percentage who will trust him is the same that trust crypto, NFT, etc.

The veil of genius saviour of humanity is now off.

@dangillmor

Oh, fuh chrissakes...

But, I predict a possible 70M+ Americans will be willing customers...

Most of them likely from the same crop of 70M+ stooges that voted for Trump in 2020.

As once said, stupid is as stupid does.

@dangillmor

The remaining staff is overworked, he also wants to make it into a dating app, along with his banking dream all supposedly be ready by this time next year?

There is more of a chance creditors are going to take over the remains of Twitter by next year than him actually pulling this off.

@dangillmor It's called authoritarianism. We trust rich people becuase they're rich, not because they have brilliance, vision, or compassion. And Elon already owned a "bank" called paypal in which he stoles billions of dollars. All banks steal from their customer. Its the equivalent of walking into someones home in broad daylight and stealing everything of value. And the cops holding the door for them. No different from mobsters in NY.

@dangillmor 70 million people voted for #trump. Seems like a good start.

@dangillmor Elon is an idiot. Seriously.

R.I.P. his brain 🧠.

@dangillmor Given how fast financial organisations move… I don't see much chance of an end-of-2024 or even end-of-2025 launch happening.

Twitter/𝕏 is haemorrhaging so much money now, I doubt it'll even be running at the end of 2025.

@dangillmor betting that it wouldnt even be a week out from implamentation before theres a hack severe enough to lose everyones money and info.

@dangillmor

>

it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year

This nutcase has, for the last ten or so years, promised self-driving Teslas are just a few years away (he has since revised that to "this year"). His mind has already been blown to smitherines.

He just guaranteed that it either won't ship by the end of CY2024 or else it'll be so rushed that it won't work (assuming it even gets the legal green light). I'm betting it never happens or else we'll see both.

@dangillmor in 1yr... He thinks he can do that in 1 yr... What an ass

@dangillmor The idiots who give him $8 a month, presumably

@dangillmor I wouldn't trust that guy to feed my cat, I'm certainly not going to trust him with my financial information.

@dangillmor

Trust me..

@dangillmor Elon Musk is not taking into consideration how many people consider him to be a fool.

@dangillmor Imagine letting him put an unapproved implant in your brain. This is small peanuts after that 🤣

@dangillmor

There was a time I thought Musk was going to try to turn Twitter into a blockchain. Maybe he’s still going to try a crypto launch and get arrested for selling an unregistered stock.

@dangillmor this is the same moron that has predicted "full self driving" for almost 10 years

@dangillmor maybe he’s jealous that SBF is getting so much attention for his fraud trial. He’s decided he can do fraud even better.
