Elon Musk struck a deal with Visa Inc., naming the payments company the first major partner on his mission to turn X into an “everything app.”

Visa will help X users load money onto digital wallets — part of a long-teased X Money payments system, according to a post on the social media platform. Visa will link customers’ debit cards so they can send money to each other, and allow them to instantly transfer funds to a bank account.
