X User Sends Musk $25 for Coffee via X Money, Gets Personal Thanks

Social platform X, formerly Twitter, is developing X Money as a payment service offering stored-value and peer-to-peer transfers, advancing Elon Musk’s vision of turning X into a “super app.” The small transfer drew attention because it provided a real-world demonstration of direct payments between social-media accounts and generated substantial exposure for a financial feature still expanding its use cases.

On June 25, 2026, U.S. time, X user Corey (@CoreyTheX) sent Elon Musk $25, or about NT$800, through X Money with a note inviting him to buy a coffee. The balance after the transaction showed $0. The post attracted nearly 6 million views, and Musk personally replied with thanks, turning a feature test into free publicity.
