Elon Musk confirms X Payments feature after a tweet highlights a $ sign on Joe Rogan’s profile, fueling speculation about platform payments.
X is preparing to launch a money transfer feature as part of its X Payments service, owner Elon Musk confirmed in response to a social media post showing a dollar sign icon on podcaster Joe Rogan’s profile.
The feature is part of Musk’s strategy to transform X, formerly Twitter, into an “everything app” similar to China’s WeChat, which combines messaging, social media, and financial services.
X Payments LLC has secured money transmitter licenses across most US states, except New York, setting the foundation for integrating payment services on the platform.
The planned peer-to-peer transaction capability aims to boost user engagement by enabling direct money transfers within the platform.
While details about potential crypto asset integration remain unconfirmed, speculation continues about the inclusion of Dogecoin, given Musk’s previous support for the digital currency.
