Some sort of universal microtransaction layer is the dream. I believe there's also a proposed web standard for it.

Scroll was also making it work before they got bought by Twitter

That’s exactly Elon Musk’s goal with making Twitter a payment platform.

Scroll was just for reading websites though. Musk seems to want We chat style super app

Hah. No. That goes all the way back to the 90ies. Tim Berners-Lee proposed that standard.

Did I say Elon came up with the idea? I said that’s his goal.

Also not saying it like it’s a good thing, just stating a fact.
