He said the goal is to make X a place where users can manage most of their daily digital tasks, including payments.

Musk mentioned that X has around 1 billion installations, though about 600 million people use it monthly. He said that expanding features like messaging, Grok, and X Money should increase regular use.

Musk has pushed for payment features on X since buying Twitter in 2022. The idea also connects to his early work in 1999, when he co-founded X.com.

The role of crypto in X Money is still unclear. Musk has expressed support for Dogecoin DOGE $0.0938 , but early versions of X Money will likely focus on traditional currency. The company has a partnership with Visa.

According to the Blockchain Council, X Money will support crypto in the future.

Meanwhile, Musk recently decided to bring xAI, his artificial intelligence (AI) project, under the control of his space company, SpaceX. What did he say? Read the full story.
