A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Slightly misleading title. He failed at renaming Paypal to X last time. So this time he was technically successful in what failed last time.
He’s stated he wants to make it in to an “everything” app/web sight, which to me implies a payment method, and given his attempt to cultivate crypto fans, I think it’s safe to say, he is in fact trying again to make “X” as a payment method work, I suppose he figures the issue last time was a shortage of mass adoption, and with twitters built in user base that’s less an issue now.
Obviously, there are to many glaring issues in this to count, but when has that ever bothered him?
Task failed successfully.
