Elon Musk tweets about a new payment system in the works, referring to a system that would compete with PayPal. For those who are unaware, one of the firms he co-founded is PayPal. He made it extra clearer when he replied to a Tweet from Twitter user Doge Designer, writing, “The man who reinvented the payment system back in 1999 is all set to do it again.” In response, Musk tweeted, “It’s going to be awesome.”

Musk also has prior payment experience dating back to the launch of X.com. This is an early version of digital payment systems.
The tweet quickly went viral, garnering 139K likes. “can you reinvent cellphone? kind of get bored with iPhone,” a Twitter user commented. “It’s gonna be Legendary,” said another.
Meanwhile, previously, Musk flopped after being criticised over his tweet that said, “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci”. In what appeared to be a reference to US President Joe Biden’s chief medical advisor, Dr Antony Fauci, Musk faced criticism for his tweet that allegedly mocked pronoun use, which appeared to harm the public, particularly the LGBTQ community, which emphasises the use of proper pronouns when referring to or honouring them.
He also shared a meme mocking Biden and Fauci. It contains the photographs of the duo that went along the slogan “Just one more lockdown my king.” Numerous people took the fun of the Tesla owner, and one of them said, “His ex-wives and children’s pronouns are es/tranged” while another comment read “His name is My kids/hate me.”
Amongst others, retired NASA astronaut Scott Kelly also condemned Musk’s tweet and commented, “Elon, please don’t mock and promote hate toward already marginalised and at-risk-of-violence members of the #LGBTQ+ community. They are real people with real feelings. Furthermore, Dr Fauci is a dedicated public servant whose sole motivation was saving lives.”
