Elon Musk says 'X Money' will have public access from April 2026

Elon Musk X is one step closer to finally launching its payments platform. According to X CEO Linda Yaccarino, the X Money service will debut “later this year” with Visa announced as its first partner. Elon Musk informed in a recent announcement that 'X Money' will enter early public access from April 2026.

The Grok AI founder 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.
