0:00

hey you want a blue check mark on

0:01

Twitter you can literally I get it now

0:04

not an ad for Twitter but if you go

0:06

under Twitter Twitter blue boom it's

0:08

there you pay 7.99 boom I'm seeing so

0:11

many people with verified check marks

0:13

right now and it's so funny because the

0:14

verified tab on Twitter where people

0:16

like if they type a response to you

0:18

where they like your post or something

0:19

and you get notifications when verified

0:21

people reply it's like blowing up right

0:23

now it's awesome like go get your blue

0:25

check mark But now let's get into the

0:27

topic of the video oh we've got a lot to

0:28

talk about in this one from Twitter pay

0:31

to Elon Musk selling shares of Tesla and

0:34

a firm Twitter pay could it be possible

0:38

could it be possible that at some point

0:41

in the near future you could buy meet

0:44

Kevin courses on Twitter using Twitter

0:47

pay and Twitter could process the

0:50

transaction rather than say Visa or

0:54

PayPal or teachable or stripe processing

0:57

the transaction and Twitter could

1:00

actually Harvest maybe a nice little one

1:02

and a half to two and a half percent fee

1:04

off of every single dollar well I guess

1:08

uh yeah I guess every single dollar that

1:10

somebody makes paying for amazing

1:12

courses on building your wealth or the

1:13

new business course for elite Hustlers

1:15

link down below the Black Friday coupon

1:17

code yes it's actually quite possible

1:20

take a look at what was just released

1:24

from the treasury Department that has to

1:26

do with Twitter and Elon you ready for

1:29

this

1:29

it's not this document but this is to

1:32

get you familiar look at this this is

1:34

the fincen uh it's a department within

1:38

the treasury uh and this is a

1:40

registration statement for payment

1:44

transmitters and look at this one here

1:48

is a payment transmitter application uh

1:52

and a renewal application in this case

1:54

for the Google payment Corp and they're

1:59

doing business as names so they're dbas

2:01

Google payments and Google pay so like

2:05

Apple pay Google pay right they process

2:09

the transaction so they take a small

2:11

little fee well look at what was just

2:13

filed folks what do we have here initial

2:17

registration

2:20

Twitter payments LLC no DBA yet but uh

2:26

you know what let's just for Giggles

2:27

fill this one in here 2 Twitter pay come

2:31

on what else would it be called tweet

2:33

pay twitpay I don't know anyway uh this

2:37

registration was just released here you

2:39

can see here on November 9th we have

2:41

this release out uh note that a

2:44

transmitter is not I wrote I wrote these

2:45

notes right here a transmitter is not a

2:48

bank it is a merchant payment processor

2:51

so again think affirm Apple pay Google

2:53

pay and uh these are companies that

2:56

clear payments and then they remit funds

2:58

to a merchant uh there's some other

3:00

definitions there are remittance rules

3:02

and then there are a lot of regulatory

3:03

rules that you have to follow regarding

3:05

this but it's really interesting because

3:06

it just shows that even though Elon Musk

3:09

has now laid off about half of the staff

3:12

at Twitter calling back some people who

3:14

are accidentally fired uh Elon moves

3:16

quickly I'm a really big fan of of

3:19

people like that who move quickly it's

3:21

just it's not that hard to file for an

3:23

LLC it's not that hard to do a DBA or a

3:26

trademark it's just not that hard these

3:28

are a lot of things we're going to be

3:29

talking about in the the elite Hustler's

3:31

course by the way which is pretty cool

3:32

comes with uh four times a month live

3:36

streams special live streams but also

3:38

Daily videos daily added lectures uh for

3:42

analyzing individuals businesses or

3:45

their entrepreneurial Endeavors but it's

3:46

just not

3:47

some of this stuff

3:49

I like the fact that Elon is in at

3:52

Twitter and is saying hey let's just

3:55

start getting the foundation set for

3:57

everything that we want we want to do

3:59

payments start the filing process now

4:01

because these application processes to

4:03

be money transmitter these are going to

4:04

take a while it just shows that the

4:06

initial intent is hey within the first

4:08

week set the foundations get rid of the

4:10

people we don't need if we fire too many

4:12

we could always call them back because

4:13

then you start seeing like what's

4:14

breaking oh you fired that person okay

4:16

we'll call them back that's actually not

4:19

a bad idea now that has led to a lot of

4:22

complaints for Elon Musk and literally

4:24

as I'm recording this video Elon Musk

4:26

just sent a tweet suggesting he is the

4:29

complaint hotline operator yes here it

4:33

is look at that uh 840 I'm filming this

4:36

at 8 43 complaint hotline operator

4:38

online please mention your complaints

4:41

below

4:43

living the dream anyway uh so

4:47

look we know that Elon Musk just sold a

4:50

nearly 20 million uh 20 million shares

4:53

of Tesla uh and we've seen a lot of pain

4:55

for Tesla stock over the last few days

4:58

which has led a lot of people wondering

4:59

like oh my gosh what's going on have

5:01

have the fundamentals broken no it's

5:03

it's Elon absorbing a lot of the

5:05

liquidity uh and that's unfortunate and

5:07

it's led to some pretty gnarly pain

5:10

which could contribute to retail

5:12

capitulation Bank of America mentioned

5:14

that last week retail and institutions

5:17

at least through Bank of America were

5:20

net sellers

5:22

yikes that's not great that's

5:25

capitulation uh and unfortunately with

5:28

this uh this election on ease and

5:31

uncertainty it's uh it's worse uh we're

5:33

getting worse it does make me want to

5:35

touch on a firm a little bit I have to

5:37

say I'm quite disappointed with a firm a

5:41

firm isn't being as transparent as they

5:44

should be this morning in our course

5:46

member live stream we analyzed what's

5:48

going on over at a firm and they compare

5:52

their total Network Revenue to last year

5:55

but then when you go to the last

5:57

quarter's earnings report they don't

5:59

break out the fourth quarter earnings uh

6:01

and this is technically q1 which is

6:03

super confusing but anyway they don't

6:05

break out the fourth quarter earnings so

6:06

I went back and just subtracted out Q3 2

6:10

and 1 from their annual numbers and look

6:12

what I found it looks like it looks like

6:15

a firm actually saw a network Revenue

6:19

decline by 6.5 percent quarter over

6:22

quarter no wonder the stock is

6:24

performing terribly because their

6:26

network is actually shrinking at the

6:28

same time they increase their marketing

6:31

spend year over year from 64 million

6:35

dollars to 164 million dollars that's

6:37

over a two and a half X increase in

6:40

marketing spend and on top of that folks

6:44

they have increased on average if you

6:47

divide the their annual operating uh

6:49

marketing spend for last year into

6:51

quarters this last quarter had roughly

6:55

24 percent higher advertising spend than

6:58

last quarter and in the quarters of last

7:00

year yet their revenue

7:03

declined quarter to quarter that's

7:06

really bad and now they're going to

7:09

compare to 2021 where we had really no

7:13

fears of a recession coming and they're

7:16

going to somehow suggest that loan loss

7:18

reserves are going to be exactly the

7:20

same as last year

7:22

I think they're smoking crack now this

7:25

I'm putting this here together with this

7:27

uh note about uh Twitter because you

7:31

know elon's wanted to get into Payment

7:33

Processing

7:34

but payment process I mean maybe maybe

7:37

it's just the time to start at the

7:38

bottom of the market right but um right

7:41

now Payment Processing uh just seems

7:43

like um yeah I guess something you want

7:45

to maybe lay the foundations for in a

7:47

recession and then kind of ride the wave

7:48

up but right now it seems like things

7:50

are more likely to be trending down in

7:52

the world of payments and payments

7:54

Revenue now the good news is a Twitter

7:57

payment system wouldn't really need

7:58

advertising uh at least you'd think much

8:01

like uh much like Tesla doesn't need

8:03

advertising although then again it'd

8:04

probably be good to spread the word with

8:07

advertising to Merchants and creators

8:10

who want to sell things so so there

8:11

would certainly be some expensive labor

8:13

involved in doing that but uh Payment

8:15

Systems right now I don't know uh

8:18

financially a firm complete disaster not

8:21

impressed at all with that earnings

8:22

report if anything I think some parts of

8:24

it were quite misleading uh and uh yeah

8:27

hey Elon maybe the time to do it is at

8:30

the bottom of the market but otherwise

8:32

other Payment Systems not happy about

8:34

right now again Elon probably says it

8:36

best when he just tweeted please note

8:38

that Twitter will do lots of dumb things

8:40

in the coming months we will keep what

8:42

works and change what doesn't
