This development comes as Elon Musk hopes to make Twitter a hub of digital payments.

When Trump took office, the NLRB had 24 separate investigations into Musk’s corporations for violating workers’ rights.
But presto...Trump fired three officials at that agency, effectively stalling the board's ability to rule on cases.
