X will launch financial services next year
The platform is facing many difficulties
From "Twitter" to "X", on the occasion of the one-year anniversary of the acquisition of Twitter, Musk made another "surprise move" by announcing that X will launch financial services by the end of next year.
On October 27th local time, Musk told employees at a meeting that he hoped X would become the center of their financial world and handle everything related to money in their lives. When I say payment, I actually mean someone's entire financial life. If (something or something) is related to money, it will appear on our platform, whether it's money, securities, or anything else. What I need to say is that you don't need a bank account
However, in stark contrast to Musk's ambition, the X platform is facing difficulties such as user loss, sharp decline in advertising revenue, and significant layoffs.
According to the Wall Street Journal, X platform announced in September that its daily active users were 245 million, a decrease from Musk's 259.4 million in November 2022, but higher than Twitter's 237.8 million users in the second quarter of 2022. However, analysis by research firm Sensor Tower shows that compared to the month Musk acquired in October 2022, the number of daily active mobile users on the X platform decreased by 16% in September 2023.
In addition, Musk himself publicly stated in September that since his acquisition of the company, X platform's advertising revenue in the United States has decreased by 60%. In terms of personnel, after completing the acquisition a year ago, Musk immediately started firing several executives, and since then, he has significantly reduced multiple job positions in the company.
