In a dialogue with the co - founder of Zerodha, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, reaffirmed his ambition to transform X into a 'superior version of WeChat' in markets beyond China. This transformation would involve integrating information dissemination and financial payment capabilities. The central objective is to morph X into a multi - functional 'super app', given that there is currently no equivalent to WeChat in non - Chinese markets. Musk's fondness for the name 'X' is rooted in his early financial ambitions. His acquisition of Twitter in 2022 was, in part, aimed at reviving his long - held plans for a financial trading platform.

At present, X has forged a partnership with Visa. The two entities are planning to roll out online transaction services, digital wallet offerings, and physical debit cards. In March 2025, Musk's xAI acquired X. This move not only further solidified Musk's control over the platform but also cleared the path for the integration of AI technology.

Moreover, Musk put forward a proposal suggesting that Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI could join forces to construct a 'solar AI satellite'. This satellite would deploy computing facilities into the depths of space, enabling the harnessing of vast quantities of solar energy.
