In keeping with my tradition of a post every two years or so... I wanted my connections to get 5.50% APY on their cash through @M1Finance. This is a 0.50% boost for 6 months over our current 5.00%. m1.com/special-invite/brian/

@elonmusk Easily :). M1 has a similar vision to what I've seen you say about the original X. We've vertically integrated all the tech and regulatory stack for both brokerage and banking to offer hyper personalization, automation, and best in class rates.
