Elon Musk drops his phone contract for X: A revolution underway?

In a bold move, tech mogul Elon Musk, driven by sheer ambition, turned to the social media platform X to make a staggering announcement. This statement, perhaps a taste of what’s to come, has elicited a surprising and enthusiastic response from Crypto Twitter and regular members of this platform’s community.

In a few months, I will discontinue my phone number and only use X for texts and audio/video calls

Elon Musk tweeted that in several months, he intends to stop using his phone number and switch exclusively to the X app for text messages and audio/video calls. Although these features have not yet been implemented, last year, the CEO of X hinted that the development team was working on these capabilities.

Many cryptocurrency enthusiasts and regular users of the X platform have reacted to this announcement, reveals U°Today. Some appear delighted, while others show concern in their comments. Prominent cryptocurrency YouTuber Lark Davis stated that he “might follow suit“. A fervent supporter of XRP, @XRPcryptowolf, has once again asked if Musk intends to add XRP as a payment method on the X platform.

Others have begun to wonder if all user phone numbers would be mandatorily deleted from their X accounts.

Crypto and X, when’s it happening?

Elon Musk claims that if all goes well, “X will become half of the global financial system“.

In other words, Twitter 2.0 will no longer be just a social network. It will evolve into a platform where users can engage in various payments and a myriad of activities.

Providing further clarification, Linda Yaccarino, CEO of Twitter, stated:

“X is unlimited interactivity in the making – centered on audio, video, messaging, payments, banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways that we are only beginning to imagine“.
