Elon Musk’s X Money: The Payment App That Might Just Break the Internet! 💸

by

So, here we are, folks! X Money, the payment app that Elon Musk decided to whip up after buying Twitter, is finally in beta testing. Yes, you heard that right! Musk confirmed this on May 25, because, you know, he just loves to keep us all on the edge of our seats. 🙄

Now, a fan account called Tesla Owners Silicon Valley, which is basically a shrine to Musk and his electric chariots, reported that Musk is “launching X Money soon.” I mean, soon? What does that even mean? Is it like soon in dog years? 🐶

And then, in true Musk fashion, he jumped into the thread to confirm that this beta will be “very limited access.” Limited access? What’s next, a secret handshake? 🤔

He also mentioned, “When people’s savings are involved, extreme care must be taken.” Oh, really? You mean like when you bought Twitter for $44 billion? Just saying! 😏

X Money expects launch in 2025

So, Musk’s big reveal comes as X Money is supposedly gearing up for a launch this year. According to their X account, they’re ready to roll. But let’s be honest, we’ve heard this before, haven’t we? 😅

Apparently, Musk’s “silent confirmation” followed some juicy reports about software code leaks. I mean, who doesn’t love a good leak? It’s like a reality show, but with more zeros in the bank account! 💰

And get this, X has been busy snagging transmitter licenses across the U.S. They’ve got 41 licenses now. I can’t even get a parking permit! What’s the secret? 🤷‍♂️

X Money plans date back to 2022

Let’s rewind to October 2022, when Musk first hinted at integrating payments into X. He called his Twitter acquisition “an accelerant to creating X, the everything app.” An accelerant? Sounds like a fancy way to say he’s throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks! 🎉

In 2023, Twitter became X, and CEO Linda Yaccarino said they’d have “unlimited interactivity.” Unlimited? I can barely handle my notifications as it is! 😩

Rumor has it, they were aiming for a mid-2024 launch. But with all this back and forth, I’m starting to think they’re just playing a game of “Will It Launch?” 🎲

And then, with Trump in office, Musk got appointed to some government initiative called DOGE. I mean, really? DOGE? What’s next, a cat-themed department? 🐱

Of course, not everyone is on board. Senator Elizabeth Warren had some choice words about Musk’s plans, saying, “Musk has lost money hand over fist on X.” Well, that’s one way to put it! She’s worried he’s trying to turn X into a big money platform to get everyone’s financial data. Sounds like a plot twist in a bad movie! 🎬
