Elon Musk Launches X Money Debit Card
Elon Musk is rolling out X Money, a beta debit-card and digital payments platform, with early users posting photos of cards and William Shatner among initial recipients. The Visa-partnered service, announced March 10 with public access expected next month, promises a 6% annual percentage yield and stores deposits at Cross River Bank with FDIC insurance up to $250,000. Users raise concerns over customer support after major layoffs and sustainability of the high yield.
