CZ Reveals He Messaged Musk About X Money Partnership, Told 'No Crypto for Now'

In an interview on June 29, CZ revealed that he personally messaged Elon Musk on X (formerly Twitter) when X Company launched its payment product X Money. CZ inquired whether Binance could become a partner for the new service. Musk’s response was straightforward: X Money currently has no plans to incorporate cryptocurrencies.

Despite the setback, CZ remains optimistic about X's long-term trajectory. He stated that he hopes X will one day evolve into a global payment platform, drawing a parallel to Starlink's transformative impact on internet access. The exchange highlights the ongoing tension between traditional payment systems and the crypto industry, even as major figures like Musk maintain a cautious distance for now.
