Musk once dreamed of making X the “biggest financial institution in the world,” taking the first step of launching a peer-to-peer payments competitor to PayPal’s Venmo, Block’s Cash App and bank-owned Zelle.

NEW YORK -- X is teaming up with Visa to soon offer a system for real-time payments on the social media platform — signaling some progress in a yearslong vision from billionaire owner Elon Musk to create an “everything app.”

X’s deal with Visa, the largest U.S. credit card network, was announced by CEO Linda Yaccarino and will be dubbed X Money Account.
