Decentralisation my ass.

Sorry to be that guy again, but the joke writes itself.

They want people to trust X with payments and cards even though the platform can barely stay functional 48h.

X goes down again and again.
Feed breaks. Logins break. Posting breaks.

This year alone, major outages were reported on:
January 13,
January 16,
January 22,
February 1,
February 16,
March 18,
Today,
and many, many more times I probably missed.

And now they want your money too.

The same ecosystem that openly says your public data, your Grok interactions, your prompts, your results, and even voice inputs and transcriptions on X can be used for training and fine tuning unless you opt out.

X also says that even if you opt out, a deployed model can still learn from normal use, and xAI’s own terms say users who connect X credentials may choose to bring profile data, location, preferences, post history, usage data, and Grok conversation history into their xAI account.

xAI’s privacy policy also states that prompts, uploads, and outputs are collected.

And now this same machine wants to sit between you and your money through X Money with Visa.

Handing your finances to a company that treats data like an extraction layer and stability like an optional feature is a surveillance hungry mess.

Never ever trust billionaires. Especially not the kind who break a platform first and then ask to control your wallet too.
