Musk signals April rollout for X Money after internal beta, backed by Visa partnership and state approvals

Elon Musk posted on X that “𝕏 Money early public access will launch next month,” signaling an April early-access rollout for the payments service ^[4]. News outlets reporting on the post said the announcement moves X Money from internal testing toward broader availability ^[1][3].

According to reporting, X Money has operated in a closed internal beta since early this year and is designed to let users send, receive and store funds natively within the X platform. The project has a partnership with Visa to enable real-time payment transfers and has obtained money-transmitter licenses in more than 40 U.S. states, the coverage says ^[1][5].

The announcement coincided with a market reaction: Dogecoin surged more than 8% on the news, and industry coverage noted that X Money represents an attempt to fuse social media and banking functions—an integration observers say could change user engagement on the platform ^[2][3][5].

Musk’s post sets an early-public-access timeline for April; outlets and market moves have tracked the development as X transitions the payments feature from closed beta to wider testing and launch preparations ^[4][1].
