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 https://t.co/xPHLRiKvNk - 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.
Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.
In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.
AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.
We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.
We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.
We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.
Following a lengthy back-and-forth with the commissioners at the #MadlangaCommision, Senona reluctantly conceded that he actively assisted #CatMatlala, including accompanying him to a meeting with the KZN Police Chief, which he said was merely to provide “moral support.”

🚨 BREAKING: Singapore takes the lead again and publishes its Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI [Bookmark it below]. Other countries should take note:
As the document clarifies, the new components of an agent create new sources of risk.
"The risks themselves are familiar – fundamentally, agents are software systems built on LLMs. They inherit traditional software vulnerabilities (such as SQL injection) and LLM-specific risks (such as hallucination, bias, data leakage, and adversarial prompt injections). However, the risks can manifest differently through the different components."
Many countries and regions (including Europe) are still unsure how to apply their existing legal AI frameworks to agentic AI. Other countries seem to prefer the deregulatory trend.
Singapore understands that AI is evolving fast, and new risks are emerging, and the time to establish dynamic AI governance frameworks is NOW.

I just read a paper that completely broke my brain.
It describes a system that solved an AI task with over 1,000,000 sequential steps... with ZERO errors.
Using AI models that are known to be flaky and make mistakes.
How is that even possible? 🤯
We all know LLMs have an error rate. Even 99.9% accuracy is a death sentence for long tasks.
Imagine you need 1,000 correct steps in a row. With a 99.9% success rate per step, your chance of finishing the whole thing is only ~36%.
At a million steps? Forget it. It's statistically impossible.
So for years, the race has been to build bigger, "smarter" models to get that per-step error rate closer to zero. We're trying to build a perfect genius.
But this paper ("Solving a Million-Step LLM Task with Zero Errors") does the complete opposite. It's a total paradigm shift.
Here's the "holy shit" moment:
Stop trying to make the AI perfect. Instead, build a system that's immune to its imperfections.
How?
Smash the problem into the tiniest possible pieces. (They call it Maximal Agentic Decomposition).
Have a team of simple, cheap AIs vote on the answer for each tiny piece.
It's less like hiring one world-class chef and praying they don't have an off day, and more like designing the McDonald's kitchen.
The system guarantees the burger is the same every time, even if any individual worker could mess up.
The reliability comes from the process, not the person.
They tested this on the Towers of Hanoi puzzle—a classic benchmark where AIs fail spectacularly as the task gets longer.
They set it up for 20 disks. That requires 1,048,575 perfect moves in a row.
(seriously, over a million steps)
A single AI trying this would be a comedy of errors.
But their system of "micro-agents" voting on every single move... nailed it. Flawlessly.
And the plot twist? The most expensive, "state-of-the-art" models weren't even the best for the job. A smaller, cheaper model (gpt-4.1-mini) was more cost-effective because the tasks were so simple.
This is a huge deal for AI safety, too.
A single, god-like AI is a black box. It's unpredictable.
But a system of a million simple agents? You can inspect it. You can audit each step. The agents have no grand "worldview"—their entire existence is to solve one tiny puzzle and then disappear. It's controllable.
So next time you're building something with an LLM, maybe stop asking "how can I prompt the model to be smarter?"
And start asking: "How can I design a system where it's okay for the model to be dumb?"
The real power isn't just in the model. It's in the architecture you build around it.
This isn't just about AI. It's a fundamental lesson in engineering and problem-solving.
You don't always need perfect components to build a perfect machine. You just need a damn good design.
...which makes you wonder what else we're trying to solve by chasing individual perfection instead of building better systems.

NERSA ADMITS R54BN ELECTRICITY MISTAKE
South Africa’s energy regulator, Nersa, has apologised for a R54-billion miscalculation in electricity tariffs, which will push power prices higher than planned.
The error, described as a “data input mistake,” was detected by Eskom but went uncorrected for months. As a result, tariffs will now rise by 8.76% instead of 5.36% next year, and 8.83% instead of 6.19% the following year.
Since 2008, electricity costs have already risen eightfold, burdening households and industries.

@Sebabi_M Mahikeng started deteriorating when the government departments top positions got filled by people from Limpopo, KZN and Eastern Cape. Even all tenders there are given to them, it’s not a Capital City but a cash cow now. No development nothing, deliberately.
@Sebabi_M Shithole that place, I go there a lot, that place used to be beautiful, even the casino is closed now, see Ur ANC pple? I think NW is the worst run province in the country 🤦🤦🤦
