So. With Elon’s closeness with Trump and he’s desire for X to be the US’S ‘Everything App’, could he force any payment of taxes, goods and services to only go through X? Is this possible with his powers? Do you think it’s possible or likely to happen? I just envisage him making it mandatory for you to use it for everything and if you don’t, you’ll have to face fines or other consequences. (I’m from the UK so I may not understand how this might pan out, I just think he’s crazy enough and cozy enough with Elmo to force it).
Nothing is stopping him from issuing an EO. Will it stand up to a judge though?
That was part of what I was asking - I don’t know enough about how this all works in the US. So an EO could mandate it, but he’d need it to be aproved by a judge?
A judge doesn’t have to approve it. Of he does it, no doubt some payment gateway companies are going to challenge the order which is where the judge comes in.
