Musk is working with Visa to develop a digital wallet called an "X Money Account" that will enable peer-to-peer payments, transfer funds, and potentially access other financial tools on the X platform. Musk is intending to turn X into an "everything app" that goes beyond being just a social media app, into financial tools and other services. Elizabeth Warren called him out on this when he took his DOGE axe to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), an agency that has jurisdiction over just those types of financial services. Musk doesn't like fair play and wants an unlevel playing field for his companies. Thus his desire to get into the Federal Government. That, and plundering all the data.
