I don’t think people truly understand what’s about to happen with 𝕏 Money. This is Elon going back to his roots - back to x.com - and building what he always wanted in the first place: one place that runs your entire financial life. When he rebranded Twitter to 𝕏 in 2023, he said straight up that we’re adding the ability to conduct your entire financial world. He even said you may not even need a traditional bank account. Most people brushed that off. And now it’s becoming real. 𝕏 Money has already been live in closed beta internally within the company. A limited external beta is expected soon, and they’ve already secured money transmitter licenses in over 40 states plus DC. 𝕏 Payments is registered with FinCEN. Visa is officially partnered. You’ll be able to fund your wallet instantly, send peer-to-peer payments, move money to your bank, and eventually use a debit card. And I think this is just the beginning. This will probably start as a simple wallet where you can send money as easily as sending a DM. With this technology, you can pay creators, pay subscriptions, pay whatever bills, shop inside the app, get paid inside the app, and much more. Then, there will be high-yield savings, you can invest, you can get loans, have money market accounts, maybe even treasury access, cool smart cashtags that let you see live stock prices in your timeline and execute trades seamlessly, crypto integration, potentially full asset management… the list goes on and on… Elon literally said this is meant to be the central source of ALL monetary transactions. Bro… think about that for a sec. Your 𝕏 profile becomes your financial identity. Everyone you follow is already there. Everyone you interact with is already there. That social graph becomes your distribution engine. Like, you won’t need a separate banking app, no need for a separate investing app, no need for a separate payment app… this all lives where you already spend your time. Right here on 𝕏. Look at WeChat in China, which Elon always alluded to. Payments, messaging, shopping, investing - all integrated in one app. It handles $ trillions in volume and became deeply embedded in everyone’s daily life. Now 𝕏 is building the Western version of that, but with a more global reach, and xAI’s AI layered on top of all this. Before you call me crazy, you have to understand how big this opportunity is. Digital payments globally are measured in the tens of $ trillions of dollars annually. Even just capturing a small slice of that across hundreds of millions, and eventually a billion, users can change everything. 𝕏 already has the audience. That lowers customer acquisition costs significantly. Add fintech revenue on top of ads, plus float, plus lending, plus investing tools, and we’re talking about a completely different valuation profile. Now, $44B for this company looks like the bargain of the decade… this was one of the main reasons I invested in 𝕏. And if they execute the way they’ve executed at Tesla and SpaceX, this could truly fundamentally redefine how people handle $ . Most people today still see 𝕏 as just a social media app. I see it as the foundation of a financial system layered on top of a global network. Ultimately becoming the “everything” app. And this I believe is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Elon is calling this a game-changer. I believe him.

#BTC ATH 2DAY!

On August 15, 2010, Bitcoin broke. A bug in Block 74638 created 184 billion BTC out of thin air. That’s not a typo. Two outputs of 92 billion BTC each slipped through because the code didn’t check for integer overflow. The system just accepted it. Bitcoin’s sacred 21 million cap? Completely ignored. This wasn’t a theoretical flaw. It actually happened. And it proved something most people still don’t understand. Bitcoin’s scarcity is not protected by code. It’s protected by people. The only reason Bitcoin didn’t die that day is because someone noticed. A fix was pushed. A patched client was released. Nodes upgraded. Within five hours, the invalid block was erased from consensus. Bitcoin’s monetary policy was rescued, not by the protocol, but by the humans running it. That’s the truth behind the “trustless” narrative. Code did not save Bitcoin. The community did. Scarcity was never a guarantee. It was a fight. And it still is.

@xAI has acquired @X in an all-stock transaction. The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion ($45B less $12B debt). Since its founding two years ago, xAI has rapidly become one of the leading AI labs in the world, building models and data centers at unprecedented speed and scale. X is the digital town square where more than 600M active users go to find the real-time source of ground truth and, in the last two years, has been transformed into one of the most efficient companies in the world, positioning it to deliver scalable future growth. xAI and X’s futures are intertwined. Today, we officially take the step to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent. This combination will unlock immense potential by blending xAI’s advanced AI capability and expertise with X’s massive reach. The combined company will deliver smarter, more meaningful experiences to billions of people while staying true to our core mission of seeking truth and advancing knowledge. This will allow us to build a platform that doesn’t just reflect the world but actively accelerates human progress. I would like to recognize the hardcore dedication of everyone at xAI and X that has brought us to this point. This is just the beginning. Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

On $LIBRA Since the start, Jupiter has always placed a massive premium on transparency. The memecoin launch game is a dirty game with plenty of ugly behavior. We, however, have nothing to hide. So here are the facts as clearly as we can say them. A few members of the Jupiter team knew that there would be, at some point, a token project associated with Argentinian President Javier Milei. We learned of this ~2 weeks ago directly from Kelsier Ventures. While we were initially unsure, we then saw credible evidence in the form of public tweets from Milei’s personal account that he was serious. That was the full extent of our knowledge. We were completely unaware of the dealings between the the principals, in this case Milei and the market makers, and were not involved in it in any way, shape or form. It was an open secret in memecoin circles that an “Argentina Coin” was going to launch at some point, as evidenced by the many public tweets that have since surfaced. But in keeping with our ethos of confidentiality, we did not speak about it with anyone at all, online or offline. Further, no one on the team received any LIBRA tokens or related compensation at any time. No one working on Jupiter products knew the day, time or CA of the launch in advance. Only Meow himself became aware of the launch on the day it was meant to happen, but he did not know the CA or the specific timing nor was he involved in any way. He was in Tokyo and slept through the launch. Ben from Meteora was aware of the CA a few minutes prior to launch for verification purposes but did not share it with the Jupiter team until AFTER the information was public. We did not pre-verify or instantly verify the CA either, contrary to a lot of FUD on twitter. Instead, we waited for public confirmation - again from Milei’s twitter account - and sufficient volume. By the time we added LIBRA to the Strict List and shown with the “Verified” tag in our Trenches product, the market cap was already ~1.5b. LIBRA did not get the “Verified” icon in our default token search until roughly 1 hour after launch. Why verify it at all? The answer is simple: to protect users. There were dozens of imposter tokens launched right after LIBRA, and without Strict List verification it would have been easy for traders to accidentally purchase the wrong token. Our Strict List has never been an endorsement of a particular token - it is simply our way to ensure that users can buy the correct token they are intending to buy. (btw, our new Organic Score is designed to help remove the need for this verification process and instead let organic onchain activity dictate which tokens are “correct”) We take allegations of insider trading EXTREMELY seriously. We have conducted our own investigation and cannot find any evidence of sniping by team members. If you have evidence of Jupiter employees leaking information or otherwise sniping, please reach out directly. If we discover any team members acted on non-public information, we will take quick and decisive action. LIBRA was brutal. It was brutal for traders, brutal for FUD, and brutal for our ecosystem. In fact, many memecoins has been brutal for the ecosystem for a long time now with sniping, bundling and all becoming the norm. We absolutely in no way condone these extreme PVP launches. And we’re actively working on better systems both internally and externally to help improve the situation for all. As mentioned, @weremeow will issue a more detailed statement later today.

“Calling for”. — this type of language would strongly suggest the @POTUS believes he cannot create a 🇺🇸 Sovereign Wealth Fund without Congress. Lots are falsely spinning this as if POTUS can create the Fund by stroke of his own pen.

The United States has confirmed that it intends to impose 25% tariffs on most Canadian goods, with 10% tariffs on energy, starting February 4.   I’ve met with the Premiers and our Cabinet today, and I’ll be speaking with President Sheinbaum of Mexico shortly.   We did not want this, but Canada is prepared. I’ll be addressing Canadians later this evening.

A great crypto thesis: @Solana will disrupt @Apple, @Samsung, @google and cloud service providers @Microsoft and @amazon Yes, that’s right. I’m not talking about Ethereum, Polygon, Cardano, Avalanche, Hedera, or any other chain. And no, I’m not talking about the Saga phone. I’m talking about the world of software applications. I think Solana in particular will be the crypto winner in this domain by a wide margin. Let’s talk about why… The application layer Imagine you buy a new phone. It doesn’t matter which brand, but imagine that this phone costs you $1000, and it’s better than an iPhone. Way better. It’s loaded up with all the apps you expect, but they are better than the Apple equivalents. The calendar/to-do apps are all built by third parties, so you can pick which ones you like the most, but they all integrate seamlessly together. They can share your data between them. Want to switch to a new calendar app? Just download it, and you don’t even need to migrate your data to the new app. It’s already there when you open the app. Now imagine you open your navigation app, and all those calendar events are loaded into it, and it offers a screen that tells you the estimated commute times for each event location. No app integrations necessary. Not only that, but you can open a random restaurant recommendation app, and an AI model will look at your travel patterns, grocery preferences, and pre-existing eating habits, and automatically recommend 10 new restaurants that you’re going to love. But you’re feeling more adventurous, and you speak to it, saying, “I was actually thinking about trying out Himalayan food, preferably not too expensive” and it produces a nice (probably small) list of options. You say, “schedule a date with my wife for tomorrow at that second one on the list,” and it creates a calendar event, invites your wife (who uses a totally different calendar app), and makes the reservation for you. Now imagine that all of this happens without any centralized entity collecting your personal data. It’s all encrypted and it all lives on the Solana blockchain. Not only that, but all the apps are super cheap and usually free. The only catch is that you spend about $3/month on SOL that you need in order to use these apps. How is this possible? Well, the entire point of blockchains is to have a globally shared state that can be accessed by anyone at any time. Imagine if all the Web2 tech companies shared a single database and could integrate all their apps together to give you a seamless user experience across all of them. Solana enables that. With this type of system, we don’t need those big tech companies collecting “platform rent.” Individual companies lose their network effect when the network is global, permissionless, and open-source. Now the companies building applications will need to focus less on building a huge moat of personal data capture & exclusive “walled gardens” of applications, and will instead focus more on delivering great user experiences. They won’t be able to rest on their laurels because they have all their users locked in. Users can’t be locked in if their data is freely available to competing apps. The friction of switching to a new app becomes nonexistent. The underlying tech Let’s talk about the technical reasons that Solana not only meets these requirements, but is also the most likely candidate to dominate this use case. To do all of these seamless app integrations, you can’t be constantly splitting up that state onto multiple shards and rollup chains. Instead, you really need a single integrated blockchain that holds all the state on-chain. Obviously you can get away with using multiple layers of chains, but that’s way more complicated for developers and potentially the end users. We want simplicity and ease, so a monolithic blockchain is ideal. As much as admire Ethereums history, Ethereum’s model is far less than ideal.

Let's update the penny.
