Lets put all our money on a platform rushed in under a year made from an exhausted and abused team of engineers. That sounds like a great idea. Definitely will be well thought out and reliable.
Not to mention identity fraud already being commons there
For sure fraud won't be totally rampant...
Also I think the hardest part of being a bank is the shitton of regulations (especially in Europe) and not the software.
Twitter might need to hire a lot of experts and lawyers in that field to make it work.
Also banks are all about trust - and that's precisely what Elon lost for most people in the last year
Not to mention that the existing Twitter infrastructure was already incredibly insecure before Musk even took over.
Twitter devs can already take over user accounts since they all have prod admin access (which they need because Twitter still has no QA or staging environments). I can only imagine the potential for abuse once people's finances get tied together with their account.
