He's absolutely not going to hire the legal and engineering team required to do this too lol

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 41 points 2 years ago

I would laugh so hard if he burns out his staff doing this and the FTC or SEC or whatever just goes "Lol. No."

While that debaucle is ongoing and the people who stayed on are struggling from losing all their money, Elon will present his brand new brain baby to alleviate their problems and it will just be company scrip.

the website that breaks, has no moderation, has full versions of pirated movies, and constantly shows me nazis should also control my money

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

Comrade Elon trying to make the Nazis who complain about Jewish bankers into bankers themselves

critical support to elon in his protracted peoples war against elon musk fans this time by losing all their money

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 49 points 2 years ago

must suck to be on an H1B visa and work for that piece of shit.

i would seriously think about [redacted] and leaving the US if it looked like i'd get caught

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

time for my annual "reassuring investors that everything will be ready by the end of next year" tour my-hero

In the latest quarterly earnings call for Tesla he got weirdly animated and emotional over work from home and it seems like he believes his own lies where he was sleeping on the factory floor for a while.

People in the comments here have not understood that headline.

Musk want X's employees to design and develop financial and bank features into X, not change their personal bank. X's employees are tech workers

I don’t need my bank to be powerful, I need it to be secure and follow regulations.

I think even the Musk fanboys wouldn’t trust him with their money.

[-] bloubz@lemmygrad.ml 31 points 2 years ago

And that makes him even more delusional. He thinks he can make PayPal 2 in 2023

[-] 420stalin69@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago

Musk promoting products that will be available next year lol.

I hope the tech bros all invest and lose their money.

How is this not just PayPal again

[-] Helmic@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

my man is still big mad that paypal wasn't called X and is literally just relitigating that decades old argument

Nobody can fire him this time melon-musk

[-] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

yea i don't think employers have access to whether employees have an open bank account.

e-wallets are not a bank replacement, it is used for small day to day transactions in any country.

[-] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I learnt from a BadEmpanada vid that some streamer kept all his money on a PayPal account that eventually got hacked. He did not have a bank account.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

I have had several people in my not especially large immediate friend group who have had between hudreds and thousands of dollars stolen, I'm sorry I meant frozen, by PayPal for no reason and with no recourse. Never keep your money in any kind of fake pseudo-bank. Either a real, bank, or Iraqi dinars, nothing else.

The article is about development of financial features into X, not changing employees banks. He wants to change YOUR bank

your boss can't tell you how to spend/save your money. If that headline isn't hyperbolic, he's opening himself up to lawsuits

Imagine that, giga-rich megalomaniac wants to get into banking... For totally legit reasons, because, you know.... Banking as it is doesn't work at all.

[-] kkitsuragisleftnut@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Love him or hate him you have to admit no one has worked nearly as hard as Elon to dismantle the myth of meritocracy.

It's difficult to quit when your working permit it connected to the company. Is this legal to fire someone over though?
