Like I've said before, I'm pretty sure Elon is working with Trump to make sure X becomes the US "super app" he dreams of.

- Force all government comms via X

- Food stamps? They're sitting in X!
- Public housing? Pay using X!
- Unemployment benefits? Sent to your X account!

I can go on.

@sam @BeAware if people are forced to use an app for govt services, they will not move - that's the point I'm trying to make
