Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of X, explained that Visa will let users move money from their bank accounts to their X Money wallet. This will make payments and transfers as easy as using apps like Zelle or Venmo. Users will also be able to link their debit cards to make payments and move money instantly to their bank accounts.

Yaccarino said this is an important step for X to become an “Everything App,” a place where people can do social media, manage their money, and much more. She also mentioned that this is just the first of many big updates coming for X Money.

This isn’t the first time Musk has worked with digital payments. In 1999, he helped create X.com, one of the first online banks. This company later merged with PayPal, which became famous for online payments. In 2002, PayPal was sold to eBay for $1.5 billion, and Musk earned $176 million from the sale.

Now, Musk is bringing his dream of online banking back, this time with X. The X Money service will be available later this year, and more financial partners will be added soon. One big feature will let creators on X get and store payments directly on the platform. This could change how we think about banks and payments online.

Musk has also hinted that X might offer more features, like high-interest savings accounts. This could make X Money more than just a wallet and help X become a big name in digital finance.

For now, the partnership with Visa is a big first step to making X a leader in digital payments. Musk is getting closer to turning X into a new type of financial platform.
