Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’ - eviltoast

“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!

      I pretty much run everything through paypal for the extra layer of security.

      It saved my ass when I was doxxed and hacked. I had my logins and financial information stolen.

      I can totally see not putting more than a few thousand into the balance if you’re going to use it like a secured credit card.

      Otherwise, keeping $0 in it and using it as a middle man between your bank and the outside world is a fantastic solution to protecting yourself.
