Elon Musk Urges X to Enter Sports Gambling
In February, a partnership between BetMGM and X was announced. This collaboration is expected to allow Elon Musk's social media platform to enter sports betting.
According to Variety, the partnership will enable X to integrate BetMGM's odds info and branding into the platform. This means that X will display users to place wagers in each game linking to BetMGM's website and app.
