So Elon's a "visionary" who wants to turn X into a single website where you can do everything — kinda like Yahoo!

He wants his new MySpaceX portal to be a website...

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this truly is a vision for the future — if by "the future" you mean 1997.

@Lockpro @ajsadauskas @technology oh, it isn’t unique, but X.com has been in Elon’s head since 1993 when he worked for the Bank of Nova Scotia for a summer job assistant to the VP Strategic planning. It was’nt BNS’s plan, but Elon’s to put every banking function online. A few years later was operating in SiValley, but Elon’s Board lost confidence in his grand design, and removed him as CEO. ../2

Instead they focussed on payments only, which was the plan of a failing startup that merged with X.com a few months earlier - it was operating down the hall from X.coms small 2nd floor office. The name of that startup ended up replacing X.com’s — PayPal.

In 2003 PayPal was sold to EBay and Elon’s share of the sold company funded his investment in two new startups, Tesla, and SpaceX. His share after tax was USD $300M.
