The post Elon Musk Announces X Money and Major X Update appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Billionaire and X Corp. owner Elon Musk has announced the coming launch of X Money, a new payments service built directly into the X ecosystem. Musk describes it as a key step in transforming the platform into a full-scale super app that combines communication, payments, media, and AI tools. According to Musk, X has just rolled out an entirely new communications infrastructure: “𝕏 just rolled out an entire new communications stack with encrypted messages, audio/video calls and file transfer.” He also invited developers to join the expanding team behind the project. Entrepreneur and commentator Mario Naufal added that X has launched its “biggest messaging update to date,” transitioning the platform to a unified system called XChat. This new inbox brings regular and fully encrypted chats together in a single interface: “No more disjointed menus. No more searching for an ‘encrypted’ tab.

The system includes end-to-end encryption for messages, media, files, and audio/video calls—technology Musk refers to as “Bitcoin-style encryption.” Naufal expects additional enhancements soon, including multi-device syncing and deeper integration with upcoming super app components: In March, Musk transferred ownership of X to his AI company xAI, valuing the startup at $80 billion and X at $33 billion, including $12 billion in debt. By early October, Musk became the first person ever to reach a net worth of $500 billion, fueled by Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI. In late October, he launched Grokipedia, an open-source encyclopedia positioned as a transparent alternative to Wikipedia. While users may edit entries, the final editorial authority belongs to the Grok AI model.
