The news was spread by the “DogeDesigner” (@cb_doge) account on the X platform about Elon Musk’s X company taking yet another step toward establishing internal payments on X (formerly widely known as Twitter). “DogeDesigner” is a member of the Dogecoin team, and he also often shares insights on what is going on within the X app team.
The Dogecoin community reacted with great excitement, anticipating this new X Payments feature to be likely launched later this year.

Payday on X announced
The same X account has also spread the word that, today, X will make monthly payouts to those who create content on the platform. The features that allow content creators to make income were introduced by Elon Musk after he acquired Twitter for $44 billion in October 2022 and then rebranded it as X the following year.
There are two options for earning money on X – via the Monetization feature, where advertisements are placed in the comment threads under the posts – and the Subscription option, which allows an account owner to charge their followers a small monthly amount for providing extra content for them, which would be closed to regular followers.
