Musk has not be able to get over his ouster from PayPal all those decades ago, and his dream since then has been to make a payments platform a central feature of his “everything app.”

“Payments—there’s been a lot of talk about that,” Yaccarino said. “Payments between you and a friend, between you and one of your creators.”

So Twitter could become Venmo as well as a microblogging site, if users actually want to trust Musk with their bank account info. That’s a big stretch, but the rebranded Twitter wants to become a major money app. The platform owner does want to add the ability to trade stocks on X, if he can find somebody to build it for him for free.
