An e-mail platform doesn’t enjoy the same kind of network effect as social media, so there won’t be any social penalty for never joining or leaving it. Unless he comes with a compelling reason to keep an account there, I don’t see it taking off.
X-Mailer is a thing already tho.
So white-power mail?
I will be sure to auto filter any emails from that shit.
cant wait to automatically send any xmail.com emails to junk
edit oooh haha that domain already exists so basically elon is sol
It would probably be mail.x[.]com
he could just use x.com for that too
Wouldn’t surprise me that instead of offering the current owner something nice and real that he’ll just spend 10 times the amount on lawyers to just sue the guy into oblivion to get it.
Fuck Musk
When you throw enough shit at the wall, something’s bound to stick, I guess. Unless you’re a giant turd who thinks you’re a good entrepreneur.
lol ew
He’s seemingly trying to create a suite of social networking and other tools. Maybe to compete with Google and the likes. Ambitious for sure. I don’t know if he’ll have any success given how Twitter is going.
ProtonMail is enough for me.
Shove that stupid ‘X’ up your ass, Musk.
GMail could actually use more competitors. However I definitely won’t be trusting Musk with my email.
You can use bullshit X email for bullshit social media accounts like Reddit. Sweet.
You mean giving him an easily scrape-able database of my social media interactions and interests/internet footprint via junk mail lists/marketing ads from sites I visit and sign up for?
Thank you but I’m personally going to pass.
“I’m sorry, you cannot send this email because it contains the words “cisgender”, please edit this and try again.”
The DOGE police is on their way to your location.
we just call that the police in the USA
… it seems Musk has confirmed that he at least plans to create a very simple email service that uses text-only emails that arrive in the style of direct messages.
This sounds like a good idea, but unfortunately Musk is involved. He’s obviously going to use it to feed to his AI (as the article points out).
MuskMail?
Nah dawg. I’m good.
Probably end up getting banned from my own email when he gets triggered by whatever he happens to be triggered by that day. Don’t really feel like trusting my data to an adult that acts like a 12 year old.
MuskMail?
smells like desperation and divorce
It would certainly accelerate the development of language. How many new words will be invented, or existing words subverted, to serve clandestine communications and slip past the filters? Steganography, anyone?
Can I See Great Etchings Near Dubai Ending Roughly? <- That’s a bit weak, but you get the idea.
I like the idea of finding alternative and clever ways of saying things, but I wouldn’t like having to do it out of fear of offending our billionaire overlords.
Jeez another X something baby of Musk 🤮
Oh awesome, can’t wait to explain how I got a porn site email.
