Elon Musk May Embrace XRP for X Money, Suggests Blockchain Founder
Joshua Dalton, founder of blockchain startup TRIBLU, has speculated that Elon Musk could adopt XRP as the core digital asset powering his upcoming payments platform, X Money.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Dalton claimed Musk “will do anything” to make Ripple's XRP the centerpiece of the platform. He added, "I believe Elon Musk will do whatever it takes to make Ripple XRP the chosen one and integrate it into X — all while Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Donald Trump watch World Liberty Finance and Bitcoin collapse before their eyes."
Though no official confirmation has emerged from Musk or X, the claim has ignited fresh debate within the crypto community — particularly among XRP supporters. Speculation is intensifying amid rising political tensions between Musk and Donald Trump, a vocal Bitcoin advocate. Their recent clash over federal spending led to a drop in Tesla’s stock and triggered broader sell-offs in the crypto market, including Bitcoin and XRP.
Musk’s prior criticisms of Bitcoin's environmental impact and centralization have led some to view XRP’s speed and energy efficiency as a better fit for X Money’s cross-border transaction goals. While Musk has largely championed Dogecoin, he did publicly mention XRP in October 2024, noting its potential role in financial freedom — though he stopped short of endorsing it.
Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci has also floated the idea of crypto integration into X, suggesting Musk may incorporate digital assets into the platform’s financial infrastructure.
Whether Musk ultimately turns to XRP or another cryptocurrency remains to be seen, but the possibility continues to stir interest across both tech and financial circles.
