Elon Musk wants to turn Twitter into a one-stop app that blends social media and financial services. Here’s why that’s a bad idea.
From LifeSite. Why does Elon Musk want Twitter so badly? Is it because he is such a big free speech advocate, that he wants to “save the world” and save us all from the censorious grip of Big Tech? …
Post a prayer for your state!
“We” are being manipulated into the vision of Elon being the free speech shield-bearer – but look at what Musk has revealed recently as to his true motivations for wanting Twitter.
Musk’s vision for Twitter is “one-stop shopping.” E-commerce. He intends to bring social media, banking, auto loans, Amazon type buying, insurance, paying loans and utility bills, medical insurance, service estimates, you name it, under the umbrella of Twitter. Everything you do, buy, or need could be bought on the Twitterverse. This is about power and money. …
Musk’s bigger plan for Twitter is to turn it into a “super app” that “acts as an operating system for people’s digital lives.”
Musk recently stated at Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting:
It’s a pretty grand vision. And obviously that could be started from scratch, But I think Twitter would help accelerate that by three to five years.
Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 4, 2022
A little history: When Elon Musk first created PayPal, he called it “X.” Musk recently bought back the rights to use the name X from PayPal and has openly discussed the e-commerce/Twitter site using that name.
Having a super app for commerce and social media means that the risk of getting kicked off Twitter becomes not just a question of free speech and censorship, but of financial risk to each and every person who relies of Twitter as a complete, one-stop e-commerce app.
All it would take is the tiniest pressure or threat of removing someone’s ability to pay a bill or collect a debt and the need to censor would go away as self-censorship would become de rigueur. The amount of power such a corporation would hold over individuals, industries, even whole nations, would be enormous.
Integrating a huge “social media” platform … with a complete e-commerce and financial services app is a very bad idea. …
What do you think of Musk’s idea for an “everything app?” Share your thoughts, prayers, and scriptures below.

When there was the first flurries of people saying that Musk could be thinking about receiving jesus, I confess I got a little excited. But it also bothered me a great deal. And now that the truth is coming out it makes perfect sense.. we need to only use social media as a tool and extract ourselves from it on such a deep level.. it has way too much influence over our lives.. and as it is we may only be able to be rescued it from God Almighty himself.. we should only use that tool as needed and extract ourselves from it.
…Lord have mercy on us- thst we may be delivered from the bondage of social media.. and return to dealing with people face to face as much as possible, Lord let your holy spirit guide us. Help us to not grow weary in the daily battle.
In Jesus Name, Amen
For the LOVE of money is the root of ALL EVIL! Power corrupts! Absolute power corrupts absolutely! Our GOD tells us to trust NO flesh! I have no trust in Elon Musk! He is greedy for power and money as much as Bill Gates! We are to trust in the LORD with all our heart; and lean not unto our own understanding. In all our ways acknowledge HIM, and HE shall direct our paths! PERIOD!!! Remember the rich young ruler who JESUS told to sell all his belongings and give it to the poor? That young man walked away sorrowful because he had great riches! (And he had no intentions of giving it away.) FATHER GOD, I pray that you send laborers to Elon and that he will get saved! Let YOUR Will alone direct his paths from this day forward and let him completely submit himself, his family, and his riches to YOU once and for all in the MIGHTY NAME of JESUS! Amen!

Psalm 24:1 The earth is the Lord’s, and ALL its fulness, the world and those who dwell therein. (emphasis mine)
If it is true or not noone is bigger or has more than God. It all belongs to Him and I trust He will hear us when we pray. We are looking toward a One World Government with Jesus as our King.
I did a search on Musk creating Paypal some say he did some say he didn’t so maybe I’m a bit skeptical of the article, but that doesn’t mean that this is his idra for Twitter.

Is Walmart not the same thing? Most people believe the same about them? Are we scared of what they have become? Probably should be .
