Ways to Earn Bux
Prior to the new updates, as a reward for building a new floor on your Tower, the game will congratulate you on your Tower's expansion and give you a complementary Tower Bux.
When a Bitizen arrives on the elevator, help them go up to their desired floor. Most of the time you will receive a coin reward, but occasionally they will instead give you a Bux as a tip!
You get 5 Bux as a reward for employing a Bitizen at their Dream Job. Note that this reward is only given once; firing then rehiring the same Bitizen does not give you additional Bux.
Prior to the new updates, you could help search for a Bitizen when a blue icon (shown on the right) appears in the lower left corner of the screen. Tapping the icon explains why you need to find the Bitizen (ordered takeout, received a package, needs to save the President, etc.). Once you've located the Bitizen, tap the floor they're walking around on and you'll be rewarded a Tower Bux for your trouble. Note that if you keep track of your Bitizens' homes and employers, your job finding them will be far easier, as your Bitizen residents do not wander around the Tower at random. They will either be located on their floor of employment or on the floor of their residence.
You receive 10 Tower Bux if it's one of your Bitizens' birthdays

Notes
Tower Bux are called Bux, not Bucks.
A "time traveling incident"
Certain parts of Tiny Tower refer to a single unit as a Tower Buck and others call it one Tower Bux. The appropriate term is uncertain. Multiple units are always called Tower Bux, however.
There is a well-known, but very risky cheat that allows you to speed up any time-based waiting, such as stocking and constructing floors. Manually setting the time forward on your device reduces stocking or building time, but will also delete your Bitizens; they may randomly disappear in "time-traveling accidents". The creators of the game added this feature to discourage cheating. For this reason, the cheat is not recommended for players.
There is a safe method of earning Tower Bux with no setbacks. This method can be seen at this page: (null).
