Senator Elizabeth Warren has questioned Elon Musk about the safety and security of X Money, his upcoming payments platform. Warren cited concerns about consumer protection, national security, and financial system stability.

In a letter sent Tuesday, Warren expressed alarm over X Money's potential risks, pointing to Musk's track record operating X as evidence of concern. The platform is scheduled to enter early public access in April. Musk has provided limited details about X Money's structure and safeguards. The payments service represents another expansion of X's functionality beyond its core social media operations. Warren's intervention reflects broader regulatory scrutiny of fintech platforms, particularly those operated by figures with limited financial services experience. X Money would enter a competitive market dominated by established payment processors and digital wallets. The senator's letter signals potential congressional oversight of the platform's development and rollout. Musk has not publicly responded to Warren's specific concerns about consumer protection and systemic risks.
