Senator Elizabeth Warren has escalated scrutiny of Elon Musk's proposed X Money platform, warning the Senate Banking Committee of potential risks to consumers and financial systems. The payments venture, slated for April launch, faces bipartisan skepticism after preview materials promised 6% APY on deposits—a rate untenable with current Federal funds at 3.75%.

Warren's letter highlights X's partnership with Cross River Bank, which faced 2023 FDIC sanctions for unsafe practices. The senator also cited X's failure to curb illicit activities, including sanctioned entities like Hezbollah exploiting verified accounts and systemic lapses in addressing fraud and child safety violations.
