The request plans were sent to big providers in recent weeks asking for proposals for financial content, real-time stock data and other features, the report said.

It asked interested bidders to say how much money they will commit to the project, but it was not clear which firms, if any, submitted proposals, the report said.

The company did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Musk last month rebranded the social media site and changed Twitter’s widely recognised blue bird to “X”.
