Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank

Musk wants your “entire financial life” on his platform.

“If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”

Well that sounds terrifying!

      It’s of course possible that he used to be good with money and currently is bad with it. But you just don’t get to that #1 spot with just pure luck – unless we go philosophical and think of everything being based on luck.

        When you inherit a ton of money and invest it in every stupid idea you have…

        With enough time and money eventually you’ll stumble into something successful by pure chance. That doesn’t mean you’re good with money, just that you got lucky.

        You don’t hear about the people who inherited daddies money and proceeded to slowly go broke with no successes to speak of.

        The evidence of Elon’s poor business decisions speaks volumes towards “being wealthy doesn’t mean you’re smart, it just means you got lucky.”
