Banks are usually bound by KYC (know your customer) laws and are required to verify your identity. Imagine trusting some random third-party company with your photo ID though... Insane.

actually, two companies.
you give up your id forever to an id verification company + twitter stores it for 30 days

Well it's obvious that Musk wants X to be a bank, so this isn't unexpected.
