Elon Musk’s X CEO, Linda Yaccarino, said that users will “soon” be able to make investments or trades on the social media platform.
Yaccarino said in an interview with the Financial Times that the move aligns with the world’s wealthiest person Elon Musk’s approach to provide financial services as part of his vision to build an all-in-one application.
Users will be able to carry out all their financial transactions through the platform — whether it’s paying for pizza, making an investment, or trading. This is the future. The company is also exploring the possibility of launching a credit or debit card linked to the platform, she added.
This move aligns with Musk’s efforts to reshape the platform — which he acquired in 2022 — following the model of China’s WeChat, which combines messaging, payments, and shopping in a single app.
