Rumours That Elon Musk Will Integrate Crypto with His Platform X (Formerly Twitter), Have Long Been Circulating

Rumours that Elon Musk will integrate crypto with his platform X (formerly Twitter), have long been circulating.

Elon Musk’s X, formerly Twitter, could soon add crypto payments, according to a report by TokenPost.

The idea of X as a “super app” was raised by Scaramucci, who is also the founder of investment firm SkyBridge Capital, and could combine payments with messaging and other social features.

It could also be using crypto, according to the report.

‘Super App’ to Include Crypto Payments

According to a report by TokenPoseur, Scaramucci thinks crypto payments could be part of a planned “super app”.

The idea of X as an “everything app” was floated by Musk a while ago, with the aim to turn X into “a single application that encompasses everything”, eventually replacing things like YouTube, LinkedIn, even dating apps and bank accounts.

Super App Journey Starts with Visa Integration

The super app could combine payments with messaging and other social features and could be using crypto, as per Scaramucci.

Though he didn’t specify which crypto could be used, Scaramucci predicts Elon Musk’s future super app will integrate a new token or stablecoin in some form.

Earlier in 2025, X CEO Linda Yaccarino announced a partnership between Visa and X enabling “for secure + instant funding to your X Wallet via Visa Direct”.

To The Moon, Or Mars, Or Not…

While it’s not clear which, if any cryptocurrency will be used, Musk is known for his fondness for Dogecoin and Bitcoin – Musk’s Tesla still holds 11,509 BTC, valued at over US$1.09 billion (AU$1.7 billion).

Musk also personally holds DOGE and has suggested in the past that humans would be on Mars by 2029 and could be using Bitcoin or other crypto as payment – perhaps his vision is for X to become the first payment system on Mars.

In any case, we’ll find out soon, as it’s only four short years away. And Musk has, of course, no history of overpromising and underdelivering.

LOL — not only has Musk delivered on what he vowed (first $2T in cuts, then walked back to $1T, now $150B, if that), but budget experts say he may even end up *costing* the federal government money.
