            I believe he wants it to a payment thing like PayPal or some shit. And I imagine that’s what his lackies are doing in the Treasury. He will force the US to use it for all their payments. I wouldn’t be surprised with like X bucks too.

              Thiel had the board of Paypal vote to boot Musk out of the company while Musk was on his honeymoon. I can only hope something similar could happen while he is in DC sleeping at the foot of Trump’s bed.

            It’s been his dream since before Paypal. Now he has a leg-up on the competition and his hands in the treasury

                  You’re missing my point.

                  It’s understood that he’s periodically wanted to do this thing.
