@jevgenijs @PopularFintech I agree. I wrote some of these thoughts in this historic and future looking PayPal product deep dive last year but before some of these newer comms came out from the team:

Elon Musk wants his Empire on Mars. The reason he wants to shut down USAid is that he wants tax payer money to fund and build his empire there. I know that sounds insane, and it is. The one thing Elon pressed upon me when I first met him was that he was going to go to Mars and set up a civilization there. He stopped being a humanitarian and “good guy” when he realized there was no way to get there without cleaning out government coffers, and there was no way to do that without stopping humanitarian aid here in the USA and abroad. Keep your eye on the ball. When Elon slashes costs, it’s for his own pocket and no one else’s. It’s stealing, is what it is. He sees those trillions as his. Not ours. He thinks he is “saving humanity” by going to Mars. He is clearly ending humanity and humanitarian aid to get there. We are Elon’s stepping stone. Be aware. He is already rich off government contracts. Now he is gaming the system. Trump has become his lapdog. Watch all the things Trump gives Elon now. Elon has seized him.

I assumed it’s highly likely that it’ll continue on its current trajectory. However, I don’t know much about the new guy and in banks I’ve seen the “I don’t want to previous guy’s project to succeed” syndrome. I’m also being a bit facetious with my use of the word “dead” which is overused in fintech circles

I have FINALLY ordered Jason Mikula’s book “Banking as a Service” and very much looking forward to reading it. Writing a book is no small feat so if you read his newsletter, appreciate his insights and want to support his work, I’d say £30 is an unbelievably small price to pay to hear the thoughts of a great voice in fintech, and to potentially get more long form insights like this in the future ❤️

Can we have some fintech CEOs come out and deliver similar style (with swearing) takedowns of govt policy 🙏🏽🤣
