X Money is coming
FR ^ | Sep 25 | RF

Posted on 09/25/2025 7:09:13 AM PDT by RandFan

Just a heads up Freepers I heard X money is coming to the X platform soon backed by VISA and licensed in nearly every U.S. state it will allow for instant money transfers from debit or credit cards and such.

It could be a big deal and it's not easy to do this. I dont know how Elon Musk plans to integrate it but I'm sure he has plans.

Maybe FR will take it?

It sounds to me like it will be similar to PayPal. Musk was one of the original founders/backers of PayPal...

Those invisible electrons on a screen are multiplying, the intangible E money landscape is becoming very, very crowded….getting time to thin out the “ herd”.

It’s very difficult to pull off as you need licensing in every state. Musk has spent the last few years doing this

It’s quite a big deal I think as you dont see it often and always good to see competition emerge

It’s the leading candidate for the “Super App” thatPaul Atkins talks about. Coinbase, Robinhood etc. also

We dumped PayPal, which we had used for many years, when they put onerous threats on keeping the account. I logged on, got all my financial history, deleted my bank information, got my privacy report, and then deleted the whole account.

What a waste. Now, I incidentally use it with credit cards, like with Free Republic, on occasion, as the processor, but with no PayPal account.

I won't go back to it, either.

I will strongly consider a new option. Currently, I use Zelle to do a limited amount of what I previously did with PayPal.

Yessss...

And I’m thinking Musk will have it integrated into X. Jim and FR could take donations all day long on X/Twitter

New people and new donors exposed to the message!

This is big..

the Feds have a new system that can already do this:

The primary new federal system for money transfer is the FedNow Service, a 24/7 instant payment infrastructure developed by the Federal Reserve that allows banks and credit unions to facilitate real-time, immediate funds transfers for consumers and businesses. Separately, a new government-wide initiative is shifting all federal payments, such as benefits and tax refunds, away from paper checks to electronic methods by September 30, 2025.

He might have to call it something else unless they can do some deal with that company 🤔

The question is will this be adapted by retailers and will the retailer charge a surcharge for using it. The trend now for many restaurants is to go to cash and charge +4% if you use a card.

Yeah!

Why not embrace combining social media and financial transactions into a single app, like an American WeChat, with social credit scores and everything?

I couldn’t see that going horribly wrong and being used by the Administrative State to allow for better control of people, not ever.

Look for an “X” token. Elon is pretty deep into crypto. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them incorporate some version. XRP is already used by a lot of banking networks.

The VISA network is an expensive option. But, it is universal…so it wouldn’t shock me to see some integration.

Money transfers are HUGE business. Much larger than most people realize. Having a network that cuts out banks and which would be immune to “defunding” would be a huge world wide win.

This is the type of BIG thinking that has made Musk billions.

Stopped reading at “Visa.” If RLUSD gets a card system working, their business model is dead.

Not crazy about using debit for things like that. My debit has been hacked twice, lost almost $1000 before bank noticed the suspicious activity. Luckily they investigsted and rei bursed me the money. (Found out that it was likely due to gas pump skimmers- so now i dont use it at gas stations.)
