Elon Musk’s X is advancing its payments system, X Money, through a closed beta, with actor William Shatner distributing invites. Musk’s repost of a user’s tweet, which listed “crypto integration” as a potential feature, has sparked questions about digital asset support. The app will include a debit card with cashback, according to shared screenshots.
X Money, the payments arm of the platform owned by Elon Musk, has entered a closed beta phase. Musk confirmed the internal testing during a February 2026 presentation, stating an external beta would follow before a global launch.
The company tapped William Shatner to give out invites to the service. Shatner shared screenshots and outlined that the app will feature a debit card with cashback available.
Skepticism remains regarding potential cryptocurrency integration. Musk has a notable history with the industry, particularly with Dogecoin, and his social media posts have influenced its price.
Elon Musk recently reposted a tweet by a user named Teslaconomics. The user’s post outlined a vision for X Money that included high-yield savings, investing, loans, and “…crypto integration, potentially full asset management…”.
Musk responded to the speculative post by simply stating, “This will be big.” The platform has not released an official feature list confirming digital asset support.
If implemented, crypto features on X Money would follow other mainstream financial apps like Revolut and PayPal. Such a move would further cement cryptocurrencies within retail-facing financial applications.
