Elon Musk has announced a new feature for X that will let users send $1 to another person by simply pressing and holding the Like button on a post.
Musk revealed the plan in a post on X on October 25, 2026, saying the company is adding the long-press gesture to its X Money payment service. The feature is designed to make sending small payments easier by bringing money transfers directly into the platform’s familiar interaction system.
We’re adding long press on like to send someone $1 via 𝕏 Money
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 25, 2026
Instead of going through a separate payment process, users would be able to send a dollar to another person through a simple gesture on their post. The idea could make it easier to reward creators, show appreciation for useful content, or support people whose posts users enjoy.
However, Musk’s announcement did not provide a launch date or explain when the feature would become available to users. Details about regional availability, payment requirements and whether users will be able to change the default $1 amount have also not been confirmed.
