The REAL reason Musk bought Twitter is SO MUCH BIGGER than we’ve all been told.

Has this been a plan that's been in the making for over 2 decades?

Time for a thread🧵investigating the PayPal Mafias next revolutionary technological invention in the 21st century👇

1/

Everyone knows that the richest man on the planet just bought Twitter...

While everyone is debating and fighting over what this means for free speech and ''democracy,'' I think we're all being distracted.

I'm more interested in what this will mean for digital payments.

2/

To understand this deeper and gauge what Elons true intentions may be, we have to analyze his first big breakthrough, PayPal.

Paypal was founded in 1998 by some of the greatest minds of our time, and was created to revolutionize digital money🌏 @peterthiel @mlevchin

3/

These early founders of Paypal are now known as the ''PayPal mafia.''

Many of the PayPal mafia crew went on to create some of the most disruptive technology companies of the 21st century after leaving PayPal.

They were visionaries, decades ahead of their time.

4/

For example, in a 1999 speech, Peter Thiel prophetically predicted how the combination of the internet and decentralized money, would become unstoppable in the digital age.

This speech took place a full decade before Satoshi even invented #Bitcoin

This is why they originally started PayPal.

A picture from one of their early slide decks shows that they wanted to reinvent the entire financial system.

They wanted to create a parallel system, one that would operate outside of the banking system..... sound familiar?

6/

Sadly, their original vision failed because the technology at the time wasn't able to create this decentralized revolution.

PayPal became a payment network that was still confined inside the existing system, and the Mafia all moved on to work on different projects...

7/

However, it's 2022 and the technology is not only ready, but #Bitcoin is already changing the world

The Mafias' original vision could soon become a reality, and this suggests why the original team is scrambling to position themselves at the forefront of this revolution

8/

When Elon announced that he was going to buy Twitter in May 2022, he gave a pitch deck to the investors, that reported he intended to launch a new Twitter product called ''X.''

The 20 yr old original ''X.com'' cards had a letter ''X'' on them.

9/

What we can see here is that in 2017, Elon also bought back the ''X.com'' domain.

At the time he said he had no plans right now for it, but it has great sentimental value to him.....

10/

The Twitter buy looks even more interesting when we later analyze the recent movements from the original PayPal Mafia, who're all quietly moving into the digital payments space

Is Musk quietly assembling the dream team for a new digital payments platform?

11/

Since Elon first announced he was going to buy Twitter, the stock price is up by over 40%.

Meanwhile its woke competitors are being decimated👇

📉Facebook -70%
📉Netflix -60%

The free market is giving you a loud and clear signal.

Go woke and you will go broke!

12/

The smartest money in the world could be realizing that Twitter may be the future of social media....

Now, what is this new product ''X''?

Will the PayPal Mafia dream team get back into the digital payments space and propel Twitter to the next level?
