According to the Financial Times Twitter has begun applying for regulatory licenses in US, the next legal requirement for providing payment services in the app.

I believe the next area Elon will dominate is the payments space. He was a part of PayPal in the early days and is familiar with how the process works and what people want/need. It could also be easily incorporated into the existing Twitter platform to compete with Cashapp and Venmo. Who know it could evolve into a competitor with Robinhood and other retail brokers and exchanges.

​

The question is, can paypal,coinbase and square keep their market share with a new competitor on the horizon?

I'll use twitter payments when my Tesla stock gets into the green.

Stop dick riding. Why? What could Twitter pay possibly offer that Venmo does not? Crypto? A direct pipeline for scammers?

It will not become an investment platform. He’s already stated what his vision for the platform is. - China’s WeChat but for the rest of the world.

>It's possible, but unlikely. Elon Musk is a visionary and he has a track record of disrupting industries. He's also got a huge following on Twitter, which gives him a built-in user base for any new products or services he launches. Paypal, Coinbase, and Square will have to watch out for Tesla Payments!
