X ROUTES CREATOR PAYOUTS THROUGH X MONEY

The shift centralizes how creators on Elon Musk's platform receive earnings. X Money now handles disbursements for both the Original Content Rewards program and subscription-based revenue streams. This integration streamlines X's creator economy infrastructure by funneling payments through a single financial system rather than multiple external processors. The change affects U.S.-based creators currently monetizing content through X's programs. X Money serves as the platform's payments backbone, managing transactions across the network. By consolidating creator payouts, X reduces reliance on third-party payment processors and maintains greater control over the creator payment experience. The move aligns with X's broader push to develop proprietary financial services following its acquisition of payments infrastructure and integration of banking features. Whether the change affects payout timelines, fees, or minimum thresholds for creators remains unclear.
