Elon Musk’s New X Money Card: Now You Can Pay With Your Own Username Flex
KEY POINTS
- •X Money publicly launched on July 27, 2026, after an invite-only beta phase.
- •The platform offers a digital wallet, peer-to-peer payments like Venmo, and a metal Visa card featuring users' X usernames.
- •Premium Plus customers get access to up to 6% APY and boosted interest, while standard Premium users must meet deposit requirements.
Starting July 27, 2026, X Money—Elon Musk's vision to turn Twitter, sorry, 'X' into an everything app—launches publicly, abandoning its invite-only beta like a reluctant Tinder date. This payment platform features a metal Visa card (because plastic just screams broke), which you can emblazon with your X username, perfect for flexing your handle at Starbucks. It offers Apple Wallet integration, free money transfers on X, and advertises 'up to' a 6% APY—because Elon loves teasing us with promises. Only Premium Plus subscribers get the full interest swag; mere mortals with just Premium must jump through hoops and deposits to earn 'boosted' rates. So if you want to casually drop 6% APY while paying friends, buying your Tesla, or financing your Mars trip, start polishing your X username and metal card now.
