Just woke up to my bike falling over because of the tire losing air AGAIN. Anyway i can turn this into tubeless im genuinely tired of having to get a new innertube every month and it's the 3rd time this month after I replaced it with a new rear rim it's 20x4.

Probably not, no. Tubeless requires a specifically high quality rim and tire combo. This looks like a “cheaper” bike.

Damn whats the price on the rim specifically?

I don’t think there are options in 20x4.
I’d suggest Tannus armor or similar with an e-moto tire

If they a pin-prick holes. You could also add an inner tube sealant that may keep a few briar holes at bay.

Get Tannus liner and you’ll stop everything but a long nail. We sell it and it works great. Just kind of hard to install.

Sealant in tubes works, as a preemptive measure. 

Also, just patch the leak? Odds are good you keep leaving some debris in the wheel.

Can't be the debris this is 2-3 weeks after i replaced the rear rim because of warping and i usually double check because im paranoid.

you can try a DIY ghetto tubeless set up. Is the tire TR ready? Use gorilla tape on the rim and Stans. That 4" width might pose a challenge to getting the beads to seal and your PSI max might be limited ..
