So. With Elon’s closeness with Trump and he’s desire for X to be the US’S ‘Everything App’, could he force any payment of taxes, goods and services to only go through X? Is this possible with his powers? Do you think it’s possible or likely to happen? I just envisage him making it mandatory for you to use it for everything and if you don’t, you’ll have to face fines or other consequences. (I’m from the UK so I may not understand how this might pan out, I just think he’s crazy enough and cozy enough with Elmo to force it).
He sure could. Did you know that USPS is technically a government-granted monopoly by way of the Private Express Statutes?
Drumpf could grant X (The everything App (Formerly Known As Twitter)) the same privileges. Maybe not directly, but ultimately it’d have the same result, if they created a service that routed payments through it, and forced citizens to use said service and then grant said service a monopoly.
Guess it’s time to go back to cash only.
