This October, many Elon Musk believers are wondering, where is X Payments?
Last year, Musk claimed in a Spaces conversation that he "would be surprised" if it took longer than mid-2024 to roll out the payments feature that he believes is crucial to transforming the social media app formerly known as Twitter into an everything app.
It would blow my mind if we don't have that rolled out by the end of next year," Musk said around this time last year, clarifying that "when I say payments, I actually mean someone's entire financial life. If it involves money, it'll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it's not just like 'send $20 to my friend.' I'm talking about, like, you won't need a bank account."
