X.com was an online bank co-founded by Elon Musk, Harris Fricker, Christopher Payne, and Ed Ho in 1999 in Palo Alto, California. In 2000, X.com merged with competitor Confinity Inc., a software company also based in Palo Alto. Elon Musk was interested in Confinity because of its easy payment system. The merged company changed its name to PayPal. eBay bought PayPal for US$1.5 billion in 2002. In 2015, PayPal was spun off and became an independent company. As of July 23, 2023, the website redirects to Twitter after Musk decided to rebrand the social networking service as X following his acquisition. Prior to that, post-merger, the website had redirected to PayPal.
Reuse of domain name
On July 5, 2017, Musk repurchased the domain name X.com from PayPal.[21][22] He explained later that he bought the website because "it has great sentimental value".[23]
On July 14, 2017, X.com was launched again, consisting of a blank white page with one "x" in the top left corner,[24] and a custom error page displaying a "y".[25][26] The site displayed this way due to having nothing in its source code except the single letter "x". In December 2017, X.com redirected visitors to The Boring Company's website, which Musk also owns. This was done in order to advertise a hat sale.[26]
On October 4, 2022, Elon Musk described his acquisition of Twitter as "an accelerant to creating X, the everything app", linked to X.com.[27][28] In conversation with Ron Baron a month later, Musk said that he would execute the X product plan "with some improvements" which would make Twitter "the most valuable financial institution in the world."[29]

{ snippet }:
What's shocking is the name of the billionaire who co-invested with the US government
(or as Wheeler put it: the "dark deep force" acting on behalf of "Pax Americana").
Step out of the shadows.... Wheeler's boss, Pierre Omidyar.
Yes, in the annals of independent media, this might be the strangest twist ever:
According to financial disclosures and reports seen by Pando,
the founder and publisher of Glenn Greenwald's government-bashing blog,"The Intercept,"
co-invested with the US government to help fund regime change in Ukraine.

Early history:
PayPal was originally established by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek in December 1998 as Confinity,[9]
a company that developed security software for hand-held devices.
Having had no success with that business model, however, it switched its focus to a digital wallet.[10]
The first version of the PayPal electronic payments system was launched in 1999.[11]
In March 2000, Confinity merged with x.com, an online financial services company founded in March 1999 by Elon Musk,
Harris Fricker, Christopher Payne, and Ed Ho. [12]
Musk was optimistic about the future success of the money transfer business Confinity was developing.[13]
Musk and Bill Harris, then-president and CEO of X.com,
disagreed about the potential future success of the money transfer business and Harris left the company in May 2000.[14]
In October of that year, Musk decided that X.com would terminate its other internet banking operations and focus on PayPal.[15]
That same month, Elon Musk was replaced by Peter Thiel as CEO of X.com,[16]
which was renamed PayPal in June 2001 and went public in 2002.[17][18][19]
PayPal's IPO listed under the ticker PYPL at $13 per share and generated over $61 million.[20]
