The CEO of X (formerly Twitter), Linda Yaccarino, has spilled the tea about what’s brewing for the platform. She just hit us with a double-feature announcement. Two big players are sliding into the DMs of X’s future: X Money, a new payment system, and X TV, the entertainment flex.
People have questions. People have opinions. People have memes. Because no rollout is complete without the internet absolutely losing its mind. Some users are even demanding chirpy little blue buddy back.
One user dropped the mic with a brutal zinger:
“All we want is the bird logo back.”
A user said: "They’re just adding all these things nobody asked for."
Another user said: "We’re gonna be getting paid in x money oh lord."
A user mentioned: "X TV please spare us it’s gonna be like those low budget ReelShort ‘movies’."
A comment read:"“yea bro you can just send me it on x money” said nobody ever."
A user reacted with a GIF:
A thing or two about X Money
Linda Yaccarino announced that X Money is sliding into our DMs in 2025, ready to turn the way we handle finances on the platform upside down. Forget fumbling between apps—X wants to be your one-stop shop for everything from memes to money moves.
X is out here chasing its dream of becoming the ultimate "everything app," blending messaging, social media drama, and financial flexes like it’s assembling the Avengers of online functionality.
Here’s what’s cooking:
You’ll be able to deposit, withdraw, and transfer money without leaving the app.
Got a fave creator? Toss them a tip mid-scroll or during their live stream.
The streets are buzzing about the possibility of Dogecoin and other cryptos becoming part of X Money. But as of now, there are no confirmations.
The groundwork for all this is solid. X Payments LLC already secured licensing in multiple states last year.
Now… X TV
Let’s talk about X TV, the platform’s foray into the entertainment game. Yaccarino hasn’t spilled all the deets yet, but here’s what we’re piecing together:
Users are expecting live shows, original programming, and maybe even some binge-worthy content tailored for X users.
AI integrations with Grok, the AI chatbot, already flexing on X, so it’s likely that X TV will have smart recommendations or interactive features.
It all seems about turning X into a platform where you can scroll, chat, and chill—all without hopping apps.
X as an “everything app”
This whole “everything app” isn’t new. Asia has been on this wave for a minute with apps like WeChat and Grab, which let you do everything from texting to booking a cab to paying for dinner.
Musk and Yaccarino seem determined to change that. Remember when Musk teased video and audio calls coming to X? No phone numbers are needed—just your X handle.
Western markets have been slower to embrace these multifunctional platforms, but if X pulls this off, it could be a total game-changer.
One app to handle your social life, finances, and streaming addictions. The only thing it won’t do is your laundry (yet).
