Elon Musk Announces $1 Tipping Feature via Like Button on X Platform
Elon Musk announced a new X Money feature allowing users to send $1 to others by long-pressing the Like button on posts, aiming to simplify tipping and support for content creators within the X platform. This feature is part of Musk's broader plan to transform X into an all-in-one app combining social networking, messaging, and financial services. Currently, X Money operates in the US, offering peer-to-peer transfers and an X Visa debit card, but no rollout timeline or eligibility details for the new feature have been provided.
