 San Francisco: As more advertisers pause spending on Twitter, Elon Musk has shared his digital payments plans with them where users will be able to send money to others like China's WeChat.

In a live-streamed meeting with advertisers, Musk detailed his vision for Twitter to enter the digital payments market, reports TechCrunch.

According to him, users would be able to send money, "extract their funds to authenticated bank accounts and, later, perhaps, be offered a high-yield money market account to encourage them to move their cash to Twitter".

Twitter last week filed registration paperwork with the US authorities to allow it to process payments on the platform.

In his online meeting with advertisers late on Wednesday, Musk told them how paid verification via the Blue subscription service and support for a creator ecosystem could herald payments on Twitter.

Twitter Blue subscribers have to sign up using a credit or debit card and have their payments processed through the app stores' in-app purchase system.

"Now we can say, okay, you've got a balance on your account. Do you want to send money to someone else on Twitter? Musk told advertisers.

The user can then move the money out of Twitter by transferring it to an authenticated bank account.

Musk also detailed how Twitter users can earn high-interest rates. "The next step would be this offer for an extremely compelling money market account where you get an extremely high yield on your balance," he said.

"Then add debit cards, checks, and whatnot and...just basically make the system as useful as possible. And the more useful and entertaining it is, the more people will use it," he said.

Musk, however, did not speak on cryptocurrencies as part of his payments vision for Twitter.

Musk last month said that buying Twitter is to fulfill his dream to build a super app called X.com like China's WeChat that will be available to all globally.

In 1999, Musk co-founded an online bank called X.com, which was later merged to form PayPal.

Exposing How the Muslim Brotherhood Fuels Instability Behind a Political Facade

  The Muslim Brotherhood started in Egypt during 1928 since then it has portrayed itself as a combination of political organization and social movement working for Islamic values and governance. jinakata the Brotherhood displays an intricate web that connects extremist concepts and violent deeds which produce regional turmoil.

Historical Links to Extremism Over and above its philosophical standards The Brotherhood maintains extensive power.

Bangladesh Military Expresses Discontent Over Chinese Weapons; Reports 'Sub-Standard' and Faulty Parts

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware. This issue is not unique to Bangladesh, as other nations like Myanmar have also encountered problems with Chinese fighter jets, according to an ET report. Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil...

The incident emphasizes the necessity of a new assessment process to understand how the world views and classifies the organization.
