Elon Musk and X CEO Linda Yaccarino announced plans for 2025 to transform X into an "everything app" featuring X TV and X Money. The platform aims to disrupt the finance industry by allowing users to manage balances, payments, and interest rates directly through the app. This move is compared to Musk's early work with PayPal and is expected to face significant opposition from the traditional banking sector.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Bill and Melinda Gates promoted mobile money systems for developing nations.

The hosts suggest the mobile payment initiative is a way to integrate third-world populations into a digital banking system controlled by major investors.
