TechFlow news, according to Semafor citing sources familiar with the matter, Elon Musk's company X (formerly Twitter) is seeking financial data giants to help build an integrated trading center. X has sent requests to major suppliers for solutions that provide financial content, real-time stock data, and other features.
Elon Musk stated that he wants X to become the first super app in the West, similar to China's WeChat, Indonesia's Gojek, Singapore's Grab, and Africa's Gozem. These apps offer multiple consumer services on a single platform, including food delivery, ride-hailing, payments, investments, and even identity verification.
This past spring, Twitter (its name at the time) launched a limited service based on its "cashtag" feature. Users could search specific stock tickers (such as $GM) to access real-time stock charts, with data provided by startup TradingView. However, the planned one-click stock buy and sell functionality has not yet been implemented, originally expected to launch in April.
To date, neither TradingView nor X has responded to requests for comment. However, Elon Musk replied on X, saying, "To my knowledge, no work is currently underway on this."
