I feel like I’d even trust Zuckerberg over Musk with my email
And I’d never trust Zuckerberg with my email
I wouldn’t even trust them with my public keys
I’m borrowing that.
Are you going to give it back?
Maybe one day, when you least expect it!
cant wait to automatically send any xmail.com emails to junk
edit oooh haha that domain already exists so basically elon is sol
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
he could just use x.com for that too
It would probably be mail.x[.]com
I can’t wait for twitter’s youtube competitor Xvideos!
I just tried that and now Human Resources wants me to come down to meet with them.
Maybe you’re winning an award!
As an early adopter, I approve
That’s already on Twitter.
“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
ProtonMail is enough for me.
Shove that stupid ‘X’ up your ass, Musk.
It’s like Gmail but with racism!
This remembers me of the possibility of him buying TikTok and renaming it to “X Vídeos”. What are the odds of such a tragicomedy to happen?
That would be hilarious
I live in some hope that he renames his holding company “XCOM” so that it can join the likes of Skynet in making our childhoods real…
But xcom were supposed to be the good ones. Have we been lied all this time?
I think it could happen. As soon as he’s in the government, they will decide that TikTok is illegal, and he’ll either launch the clone or buy the US version from them.
I actually believe it’s more likely than not.
Then the propaganda machine will include both Twitter and TikTok. You’ll probably never see a fair election again in the US.
Wait didn’t they already decide TikTok was illegal? I thought that ban was taking effect soon
AFAIK it’s only banned for government officials and maybe their family.
It is apparently a full ban starting Jan19th
I’ve seen popular social media get banned. Again and again. It doesn’t really lead to local alternatives gaining traction, it just leads to even a gramma knowing what a VPN is.
And also profess his love of hamsters.
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.
I will be sure to auto filter any emails from that shit.
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.
lol ew
So white-power mail?
Let me remind you that this will be under the same guy who made his employees yank out server machines and transport them in an unprofessional and insecure manner. Your data would be unsafe with him in more than one way.
I think something he just plain doesn’t get… who on earth is the target demographic. There’s no shortage of e-mail services, outlook, yahoo, gmail, as public easy to use ones.
So what I gather, the closest to a major “feature”, is to remove formatting and image ability from the e-mail. Which… most likely means existing e-mails formatted for other platforms, will error out or be unreadable unless individuals choose not to use their formatting ability from their mail clients?
Gmail rose to fame, because it actually solved a real problem. IE at the time gmail came out, hotmail was offering like 10 MB of storage. Google offered 1GB. A change so big people thought the anouncement was just an april fools joke (admitted, announcing it on april 1st was probably intentional for that as well).
It’ll be the mail service for the alt-right, I’d imagine.
I guess, but even there… I fail to see the target there. IE truth social and xitter at least have a reason alt right extremists need them… IE facebook and old twitter would occasionally ban people or put fact checks on some nazi rhetoric and blatent false stories. To my knowledge no e-mail provider is going to ban you for sending that FW:FW:FW:FW: My dog was infected by my son’s friends covid vaccine, and my hatian neighbor became trans after eating it.
