It has long been reported that Musk aims to turn the social media platform X into a super app that includes financial services and other capabilities.

It was reported in April 2023 that Musk told employees of the company, then known as Twitter, that his vision was to make it a $250 billion payments company, with the social media app becoming a major part of users’ financial lives.

The plans echoed Musk’s roots at the company that would one day become PayPal.

“I think it’s possible to become the biggest financial institution in the world,” Musk said at a conference in March 2023.

In October 2023, Musk said he expected X to transform into a payments super app by 2024.

“When I say payments, I actually mean someone’s entire financial life,” Musk said during an X all-hands call, according to a report at the time.

“If it involves money, it’ll be on our platform,” Musk said. “Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just, like, send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”

In January 2025, Linda Yaccarino, who was CEO of X at the time, said in a post on X that Visa had become its first partner for an X Money Account that was to debut later that year.

Another milestone for the Everything App: @Visa is our first partner for the @XMoney Account, which will debut later this year.

Yaccarino said the partnership would allow “secure + instant funding” to an X Wallet via Visa Direct, would connect to the user’s debit card to allow peer-to-peer (P2P) payments, and would give users the option to instantly transfer money to their bank accounts.

She added in the post that the partnership is “another milestone for the Everything App.”

PYMNTS reported in January 2025 that X was laying the regulatory groundwork for funds to flow through broad swaths of the United States, as the company had secured money transmitter licenses in 40 states and the District of Columbia.
