PANews reported on December 3rd that, according to The Block, X Money, the financial division of Elon Musk's X platform, is hiring a senior engineer to build a new payment infrastructure serving 600 million monthly active users. While the job description doesn't mention cryptocurrency or blockchain, it requires experience in distributed systems and high-availability architecture, indicating that X is building its own payment system. Solana has officially encouraged participation, and consultant Nikita Bier joined X as product manager in June. X previously announced a partnership with Visa to launch a digital wallet, but progress appears to have been delayed.
