Nassim Taleb Calls Elon Musk's X Money "Much Smarter" Than Bitcoin as April Early Access Nears

Elon Musk has confirmed that X Money, a financial service integrated into the X platform, will roll out in early access in April, drawing a strong endorsement from "The Black Swan" author Nassim Taleb. Taleb argues that X Money is "much smarter than Bitcoin," highlighting its potential as a private currency competing with state money, its focus on everyday payments linked to banking and fiat, and its reliance on X's large user base and regulatory licenses across more than 40 U.S. states.
