Musk describes the system as “Bitcoin-style encryption,” designed to deliver privacy without compromising functionality. Older messages are labeled as unencrypted, and users can activate encryption by setting a PIN.Like X Money, XChat also represents a major step toward X becoming Musk’s vision of a universal communications hub.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/circle-stock-gains-after-jpmorgan-turns-bullish-cathie-woods-ark-invest-buys-the-dip/cLP9RYgRE3X">Circle Stock Gains Pre-Market After JPMorgan Turns Bullish, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest Buys The Dip</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Elon Musk Says X Money Launching Soon After XChat Messaging Overhaul – ‘X Will Be The Everything App’

In a tweet on X, Elon Musk hinted at an imminent X Money launch amid X adding privacy-focused communication tools.

Elon Musk’s X Corp. (XCorp) has reportedly reached a settlement in a $128 million lawsuit brought by former top executives of Twitter, although the terms of the settlement have not been disclosed yet.According to a Reuters&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/musks-x-settles-ex-twitter-executives-128-million-severance-pay-lawsuit-2025-10-08/">report</a>, the settlement was first announced in a filing in a San Francisco federal court last week. The plaintiffs in the case are former CEO Parag Agrawal, former CFO Ned Segal, former chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, and former general counsel Sean Edgett.The plaintiffs filed the lawsuit alleging that they were not paid $128 million in promised severance pay following the acquisition of the social media platform by Musk.In August, Musk and X settled a&nbsp;separate&nbsp;$500 million lawsuit brought by former Twitter employees over severance pay, alleging that while a 2019 plan guaranteed that most workers would receive two months of their basic salary along with one week of pay for each completed year of service, Twitter only gave some of them one month of pay at most, while many were not paid anything.Musk acquired Twitter in 2022 for $44 billion and subsequently rebranded the social media platform as X. He also laid off more than half of the company’s workforce in a bid to save costs.Last week, a federal judge&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/elon-musk-sec-lawsuit-twitter-texas/chCrjp3R3fd">rejected</a> Elon Musk’s bid to move a lawsuit brought forward by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to Texas concerning an alleged late disclosure of his stake in Twitter.Also See:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/boeing-737-production-rise-to-48-by-april-ryanair-says/ch6EnbNR3ir">Ryanair CEO 'Pretty Confident' Boeing 737 Production Could Rise To 48 A Month By April: Report</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Elon Musk’s X, Ex-Twitter Executives Reach Settlement In $128 Million Severance Pay Lawsuit: Report

The plaintiffs in the case are former CEO Parag Agrawal, former CFO Ned Segal, former chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, and former general counsel Sean Edgett.

A federal judge reportedly rejected Elon Musk’s bid to move a lawsuit brought forward by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to Texas concerning an alleged late disclosure of his stake in Twitter Inc.“The Court takes Mr. Musk’s convenience seriously, but it also notes that Mr. Musk has considerable means and spends at least forty percent of his time outside his chosen forum,” US District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan wrote in an order Thursday in Washington, according to a Bloomberg&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-02/musk-loses-bid-to-move-sec-suit-over-twitter-stake-to-texas">report</a>.Twitter has been subsequently renamed to X and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of xAI. The SEC sued Musk in January, just days before President Donald Trump took office, and more than two years after Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion.In its lawsuit, the SEC alleged that Musk failed to meet the deadline set by the regulator to disclose that he had accumulated at least a 5% stake in Twitter. It stated that this delay allowed Musk to acquire Twitter shares&nbsp;at a discount, costing its shareholders more than $150 million.However, Musk sought a dismissal of the lawsuit in August, with his attorneys&nbsp;arguing that it was a waste of the court’s time and taxpayer resources. “The SEC does not allege that Mr. Musk acted intentionally, deliberately, willfully, or even recklessly... Rather, the SEC alleges that Mr. Musk late-filed a single beneficial ownership form three years ago, and fully corrected any alleged error immediately upon its discovery. There is no ongoing violation,” Musk’s attorneys&nbsp;stated, according to a filing.Musk also filed a request to have the case moved from Washington to Texas. “Forcing Mr. Musk to litigate in this district would merely perpetuate and compound the harm from the SEC’s years-long campaign against him,” Musk’s attorneys said, according to the report.Also See:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/asts-stock-soars-to-all-time-high/chCr1iSR3f2">AST SpaceMobile Stock Soars To All-Time High – Here’s An Update</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Apple denied Elon Musk's claim that the iPhone-maker played favoritism in picking OpenAI as its AI partner, over the billionaire's xAI, according to a Bloomberg report early Wednesday.Musk's social media and AI company, X Corp.,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/elon-musk-xai-accuses-apple-openai/chsss4hRdSG">sued</a> Apple and OpenAI in August, seeking billions of dollars in damages, alleging that the iPhone maker's move hinders innovation in the AI industry and deprives consumers of choices. Before the lawsuit, Musk had <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/sam-altman-fires-back-at-elon-musk-over-apples-chatgpt-favoritism-claims/chrDUplRd7g">fired a series of posts</a> on X claiming that the prime placement of OpenAI's ChatGPT app on Apple App Store's top picks and ranking pages was unfair.Seeking the dismissal of the suit, Apple's lawyers said in a court filing Tuesday that even if the company teamed up with OpenAI first, it is "widely known that Apple intends to partner with other generative AI chatbots" in the future, according to the&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-01/apple-denies-harming-musk-s-xai-by-teaming-up-with-openai">report</a>. The antitrust injury alleged by Musk's companies is based on "speculation on top of speculation," they said.X Corp. claims that Apple cannot partner with OpenAI "without simultaneously partnering with every other generative AI chatbot—regardless of quality, privacy or safety considerations, technical feasibility, stage of development, or commercial terms," Apple's lawyers wrote. "Of course, the antitrust laws do not require that."While Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman frequently find themselves at loggerheads, the Tesla founder hasn't had a significant fight with Apple before. Back in 2022, Musk criticized Apple's 30% commission on in-app purchases.On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment was 'neutral' for&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/OPENAI">OpenAI</a> and 'bullish' for&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XCORP">X Corp.</a> Both companies are privately held. The sentiment for <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AAPL">Apple</a> was ‘bearish.’For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Apple Denies Favoritism To OpenAI, Breach Of Antitrust Rules In Musk's Lawsuit

Seeking the dismissal of the suit, Apple's lawyers said that the iPhone maker has publicly stated that it will partner with many generative AI chatbots.

Elon Musk has asked a federal judge to dismiss a Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit alleging that he cost erstwhile Twitter, Inc. shareholders money for failing to disclose his rising stake, according to a Bloomberg report.In a suit filed in January, the SEC alleged that Musk missed a deadline to file a special form stating he had accumulated at least a 5% ownership stake in Twitter before launching his takeover bid for the social media platform&nbsp;three years ago.Musk flouted securities law by waiting too long (he missed the filing deadline by 11 days), which cost Twitter shareholders more than $150 million, according to the suit.Musk's attorneys wrote in a court filing late Thursday that the suit does not allege that Musk acted willfully or recklessly, and, as such, it "is a waste of this court's time and taxpayer resources," according to the Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-29/musk-seeks-dismissal-of-sec-suit-over-twitter-stake-disclosure">report</a>.Musk's stake disclosure would have sent Twitter's stock price soaring; its investors missed out on those gains, the suit says. The billionaire has earlier said that the SEC's suit is a "campaign of harassment" against him.The lawsuit was closely watched due to its timing. It emerged when Musk had become one of the top backers of President Donald Trump,&nbsp;with whom his relationship later floundered.Musk's chaotic takeover of Twitter, now called X, raised many eyebrows at the time. After signing the deal in April 2022, he backed out, which led to Twitter management and investors suing him. He ultimately returned to close the deal in October 2024, purchasing Twitter for $44 billion.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/gap-stock-snaps-6-day-winning-streak-ceo-vows-to-mitigate-tariff-pressure-denim-campaign-grabs-eyeballs/chtTdjVRdZl">Gap Stock Snaps 6-Day Winning Streak: CEO Vows To Mitigate Tariff Pressure, Denim Campaign Grabs Eyeballs</a>

Elon Musk Battles SEC Again, Seeks To Toss Lawsuit Alleging He Shortchanged Twitter Investors 3 Years Ago 

The U.S. regulator has alleged that Musk's delayed disclosure of his 5% stake buildup in 2022 ultimately caused Twitter shareholders to lose $150 million.

Sam Altman posted a picture of the Death Star, a powerful planet destroyer from the sci-fi franchise “Star Wars”, with no accompanying text, just a day ahead of OpenAI's likely unveiling of its GPT-5 AI model.The choice of the imagery, ahead of one of the most significant product rollouts, is at best odd. The Death Star was an enormous spaceship conceived by&nbsp;the series’ antagonist, Darth Sidious, and used by Darth Vader, one of pop culture's most iconic villains, to obliterate planets and intimidate rebel forces.In short, the dark side used it for galactic-scale destruction. But in true cinematic fashion, the "good guys," led by Jedi Luke Skywalker, blew it up to restore peace — until, of course, the next round of Star Wars sequels landed.The reference likely <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/sama/status/1953264193890861114">teases</a> the massive capabilities of the upcoming GPT-5, although the "evil" connotation isn't the best look. Still, the new AI model is expected to be a giant leap from its predecessor, GPT-4,&nbsp;which was released over two years ago.To be sure, consumer and enterprise adoption&nbsp;of AI has surged massively in the last two years, partly&nbsp;due to the benchmarks set by GPT-4. More recently, AI development has shifted to focus on highly capable models that use less and less computing power.After the X post, Atlman followed up with another saying that OpenAI is hosting a livestream at 10 am PT on Thursday.&nbsp;He <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/sama/status/1953296157586931745">said</a> the event “will be longer than usual, around an hour. We have a lot to show and hope you can find the time to watch!”&nbsp;He did not specify what it was about.Reuters <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/sama/status/1953296157586931745">reported</a> on Wednesday that early testers were impressed with GPT-5's ability to code and solve science and math problems, but they believe the leap from GPT-4 to GPT-5 is not as large as the one from GPT-3 to GPT-4.Even though OpenAI has brought to market new offerings, such as AI agents and lightweight as well as deep research-focused AI models, at a rapid pace recently, the GPT-5 release is crucial. Microsoft, Meta, X, and the Chinese AI industry, led by Alibaba, are investing heavily to compete with the ChatGPT-maker.Meta has ramped up its AI hiring spree, dangling multi-million dollar packages to lure top talent to its new Superintelligence team. Meanwhile, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk — who has clashed with Altman over OpenAI’s nonprofit status claims — has been actively promoting xAI’s latest generative media push, spotlighting Grok’s new image and video creation capabilities.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-takes-aim-at-next-talk-show-star-says-sirius-xm-s-howard-stern-went-down-after-backing-hillary-clinton-in-2016/chrlsyNRd5C">Trump Takes Aim At Next Talk Show Star — Says SiriusXM’s Howard Stern ‘Went Down’ After Backing Hillary Clinton in 2016</a>

The comparison between a much-anticipated and likely sophisticated AI and a massive weaponized spaceship from 'Star Wars' is, at best, a little odd.
