Stellar Rippler (@StellarNews007), a well-known voice in the cryptocurrency space, has outlined a detailed theory connecting Ripple (XRP), Stellar (XLM), and several of Elon Musk’s ventures.
Drawing from public partnerships, symbolic branding, and technical overlaps, the analysis suggests a deeper architecture behind Musk’s financial and technological vision—one in which XRP and XLM may play key roles.
(1/🧵) Elon Musk has been dropping hints about the new financial system for years…
He’s been speaking in riddles.
X isn’t just a rebrand.
Grok isn’t just AI.It’s all connected to Stellar, Ripple, Rust, and rails.
And this thread might just flip your worldview:

McCaleb, VAST, and the SpaceX Bridge
At the heart of the theory is Jed McCaleb, the co-founder of Ripple and Stellar. McCaleb now leads VAST, a space station company partnered with SpaceX. According to Stellar Rippler, this partnership signals more than just aerospace collaboration.
It’s potentially the first step toward integrating blockchain infrastructure with satellite-based communication networks like Starlink, laying the groundwork for global financial systems in low-connectivity areas.
The general belief is that McCaleb left Ripple because of internal conflicts and disagreements. However, Stellar Rippler has previously suggested that McCaleb was assigned to start Stellar, suggesting that both networks are part of a broader strategy.
Branding, Code, and AI Clues
Stellar Rippler points to visual and technical hints as further evidence. The X logo resembles a modified version of the Ripple logo, and Grok’s logo is similar to Stellar’s.
More concretely, he noted that while the source code of x.com was public, it referenced terms such as “wallet,” “ledger,” and “bridge,” which are central to XRP’s framework. These are not generic terms but core components of Ripple’s cross-border settlement ecosystem.

Musk has also changed his X name to Gorklun Rust. Stellar Rippler noted Stellar runs on Rust and pointed to Musk’s past “Stellar Ripple Constellation” post as intentional.
Interledger Protocol and the Everything App Vision
The theory also links Ripple’s Interledger Protocol (ILP) to Grok AI, which allegedly mentioned “interledger routing” in version 2.0. ILP enables cross-ledger payments through XRP, making it a natural fit for any system looking to unify digital and fiat transactions at scale. Grok’s reference suggests that Ripple tech might have been quietly tested in Musk’s growing digital ecosystem.
Musk’s ambitions for X as an “everything app” align closely with the long-term goals of both Ripple and Stellar. Each blockchain aims to provide infrastructure for payments, identity, asset tokenization, and liquidity.
In the past, Musk stated, “The future economy will run at the speed of thought.” Stellar Rippler compares this with Ripple’s older slogan, “Move money at the speed of information,” suggesting a shared vision.
While no official confirmation exists, the pieces presented suggest that if Musk integrates blockchain technology, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Stellar blockchain could power it.
