Love him or hate him, Elon Musk is a genius entrepreneur. Before Tesla and SpaceX, what was the name of Musk's early company that became PayPal?

The plainly-named X.com was co-founded by Musk in 1999, and was one of the first online banks. It was notable because it was insured by the FDIC. Just a year after it was founded, Musk's X.com merged with Confinity Inc. which soon changed its name to PayPal, and the rest is online payment history.
