According to Cointelegraph, Hollywood actor William Shatner, known for his role as Captain Kirk in the original Star Trek series, is among the beta testers invited to participate.

Musk described the app as a 'game changer,' aiming to centralize all monetary transactions. Shatner has utilized the $42 sent to him by Musk to raise funds for charity, auctioning 42 X Money beta invites for $1,000 each with X's permission. Each winning bidder receives a $25 welcome gift card from X and $1 initially sent to Shatner by Musk.
