Elon Musk's X partners with Visa to move into financial services-and no, it's not for crypto (yet)
Briefly

Elon Musk's X is gearing up to launch X Money, a digital wallet service in collaboration with Visa, that aims to facilitate real-time peer-to-peer money transfers akin to platforms like Venmo and Zelle. CEO Linda Yaccarino indicated the service is set to debut in early 2025, along with other significant announcements related to X Money. This initiative comes in light of challenges to monetize the platform effectively, and Musk's ambition is to evolve X into a comprehensive app similar to China’s WeChat, integrating various services for user convenience.
