Elon Musk says X Money to enter early public access next month

LONDON: Elon ‌Musk on Tuesday said X Money, the social ​media platform’s digital payment system, will enter early public access next month, as the billionaire pushes to transform X into an “everything ‌app.”
The move ‌comes ​as ‌the ⁠Tesla ​chief looks ⁠to take advantage of the platform’s sizable user base and the growing trend of digital and in-app ⁠financial transactions to open ‌new revenue ‌streams for ​X.
X partnered ‌with payment company ‌Visa last year to help offer direct payment services to customers of the ‌social media app.
Since buying X, formerly called ⁠Twitter, ⁠for $44 billion in 2022, Musk has touted a plan of making the platform an “everything app,” aiming to offer a plethora of features including streaming, messaging, images, videos ​and ​payments.
