Seeing Twitter's financial progress can actually be seen when ownership changed hands to Elon Musk. He made Twitter Blue a business for people who were really trying to gain influence or build their status on Twitter. Now, implementing a paid system is much different when Twitter is owned by Jack Dorsey. Today many people who are not artists, important people, and companies can have status on Twitter. This has also become a reference for Facebook, especially Instagram, which will implement a paid verified account system.

On his interview last year, he said that he slowly shifted his focus from crypto to AI, and stated that blockchain based twitter isn't possible.
Blockchain based Twitter doesn't make much sense anyway, but Twitter using crypto for payments is something entirely different. Since we are talking about Elon Musk here, who knows what he will come up next, and what kind of bold clam he will make.


Well, it's known that he created PayPal, so he would probably do something similar and integrate it with Twitter.
That's one of the common myths, that he created PayPal while in fact his company merged with another one that made Paypal (Coinfinity) and after Elon was removed as CEO of that new company, they renamed themselves to PayPal and sold it to Ebay the next year.

His plans with Twitter is probably to make something similar to Wechat, which is a very popular app in China that is used for many things (including payments) and I think he even said something like that in the past.

I don't usually respect Elon. I once thought he was a bit of a tool to be honest. However, if it's one thing I have learnt from him taking over Twitter, it is exactly like you said...He does everything off of a whim. He's not evil, he does not fore-think or scheme. He's just a (rather intelligent) child-like billionaire who is having fun treating the world of business as his playground. I can't disrespect that after realizing it. I suppose he earned it (despite his deeply buried transgresses, but what businessman does not have those?). I think that turning Twitter into a financial institution could keep the fiat wheel peddling just a little bit longer. It's a very smart idea from a business perspective, if done correctly. I can't say whether or not it'd be good for Bitcoin though.

He just bought the company and why would he be pessimistic about his recent acquisition of Twitter? He'd tell things that will be a plus to him and for Twitter that's why he won't say anything negative to it unless someone puts him on his own pan to be cooked.
Elon is an attention guy so, anything he says always take it with a grain of salt. That's why those that have been believing that Dogecoin to the moon because of him, you probably have missed the time that you should be taking profits when it was still hot, hyped and trendy.

More stuff to come in the future and more revealed. Lol

It is usually happen that companies often adjust their strategies and priorities based on market conditions and user demands. It is also not uncommon for CEOs to change their opinions or priorities over time.
It remains to be seen what Twitter's strategy will be regarding finance systems and cryptocurrency integration, and how this may impact the platform and its users.

Musk is diving into the world of dreams and wishful thinking. Grin He was dreaming about creating a cheap Tesla car(which won't happen).
Now, he wants to turn Twitter into a "financial institution"? How the hell does he plan to do this? Turning a Twitter into an online marketplace like eBay and Amazon? Letting the users send and receive payments between each other? What would be the incentive for them to use Twitter payments, instead of Paypal, Venmo, Zelle, Revolut or any other online payment provider(or cryptocurrencies)?
There's nothing wrong with being a dreamer, but you look ridiculous, when there's no possible way to achieve your dreams.
He is doing experiments on the platforms at the same time provoking other companies related or non related to his platform. As we could see clearly by his attitude, he is somewhat telling that he could offer or provide better services compared to those leading/pioneer payment system. As much as I hate it because of his nonchalant attitude, he also has a tendency of hyping things, and when he gets bored he will shift his attitude 180°. Although we cannot judge him due to his ability to stir up things and actually do it because of he is rich, he's like teaching younger generations to join trends just because it it hype. Even if we say it's none of our business, it will still have an impact on the economy. We'll just have to wait and see what he will do next.

It seems that Elon Musk's grudge against PayPal and his ambition to be able to have a financial institution to be able to support the operations of his group is very large. He is willing to spend a lot of money to be able to take over Twitter and make it not only a social media platform, but also a financial platform whose users he can "squeeze" indirectly is something that I think is quite greedy. I'm not a rich man, so I can't guess how rich people like him think, but I think this is the real capitalist.

Probably take whatever Elon Musk says about Twitter with a grain of salt. From what I can see, Twitter seems to be his sort of playground knowing how impulsive and experimental he is with concerning platform updates. Definitely not sure if this is the best way of doing things, but it's certainly interesting.

We'll have to see, as Musk was one of the founders of Paypal, and it seems he wants to offer more services on Twitter than those offered so far, such as the financial one you mention, but just because someone has been successful so far doesn't guarantee future success, and he bought Twitter at a high price to begin with, so I'm going to wait to see how this materialises before I jump the gun.

Right now we don't really know if it is the final plan of the owner of Twitter, Although it is undeniable that he is the cause of the sudden rise of doge and shiba inu but in bitcoin I don't believe that he is also the reason.

       Whatever he does on Twitter will not affect me because I have not used that platform for several years, especially since he will implement the monthly payment for those who have a Twitter account.

The owner of the social media platform Twitter said during his conference on March 7 Here, that he is optimistic for his company becoming cashflow positive. Although he didn't directly stated that he won't be integrating crypto currency, he wants his social media platform to offer powerful finance system that is more superior than PayPal.

On his interview last year, he said that he slowly shifted his focus from crypto to AI, and stated that blockchain based twitter isn't possible. Due to his inconsistent behavior and doing things on a whim, we are left here thinking what crazy things he will do next. As previously, he was the one hyping about cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Doge, and SHIB.
