Elon Musk has long wanted to create an ``all-inclusive service'' centered on a financial platform, and has claimed that the acquisition of Twitter in October 2022 will accelerate the creation of super app ``X.''

The states in which X has obtained a remittance service operator license to become a 'central financial app' so far are Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. It was also licensed in South Dakota on November 27, 2023, Kansas on November 28, and Wyoming on November 29, 2023.

This information was reported by the news site The Street, and Mr. Musk confirmed it by posting the word 'progress'.



In addition, Mr. Musk has publicly stated that he has no plans to issue virtual currency tokens at his companies X, Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink, but on the other hand, it is possible that X will have the ability to handle virtual currencies. The Street points out that it does not deny sexuality and may actually be able to handle virtual currencies.
