#XSuperApp
Elon Musk and CEO Linda Yaccarino are accelerating moves to transform X into a full-fledged “super‑app” that integrates investment, trading, payments, and even credit/debit card services—a bold expansion beyond social media.
Key developments:
• A beta test of “X Money” is underway, described as a cautiously rolled‑out in‑app payment system with limited access. The focus is on user safety and financial compliance.
• Trading and investment tools are in active development. Users may soon be able to buy and sell stocks—and possibly crypto—directly within X, setting up competition with standalone trading platforms.
Timeline & scale:
• Details on launch dates and supported asset types (stocks, crypto, etc.) have not been finalized, though insiders hint that expanded financial services are planned over the coming quarters.
Strategic rationale:
• X aims to evolve into an “everything app” similar to WeChat and Grab—deepening user engagement and opening new revenue streams beyond ads.
• This reflects a broader trend in Western tech trying to replicate Asia’s integrated platform success .
