I feel like I'd even trust Zuckerberg over Musk with my email
And I'd never trust Zuckerberg with my email
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!
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
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'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.
It's like Gmail but with racism!
ProtonMail is enough for me.
Shove that stupid 'X' up your ass, Musk.
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.
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.
GMail could actually use more competitors. However I definitely won't be trusting Musk with my email.
X-Mailer is a thing already tho.
I will be sure to auto filter any emails from that shit.
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 can't wait for the first story about how someone's email account got deleted because they said something less than complimentary about man child Musk on Twatter.
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.
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.
Get fucked Elon.
Sure musk, get my private stuff. No, F off you nazi as*hole.
Called this before the election. Musk is going to try and angle to get his shitty platforms to be used exclusively by government agencies. It's an out in the open plan to just steal and funnel taxpayer money for bullshit.
And just like that, I'm suddenly way more comfortable google....
I'll be sticking with Protonmail, personally
The bar is pretty low, but yeah. At least Google provides a pretty good email service. I can't have the same confidence in a Musk product.
I wonder when he'll create an online Fax service and call it FaXimile or something.
Gonna make a porn site to compete with PornHub called s3X.com
Free with the service: a thrice daily digest of edgy quotes from The Xavior, reasons why He is perfect and completely enlightened, and a plethora of ads for musk-related merchandise and products.
No unsubscription option from this will be available. But that's okay. The cult will gleefully lap all that shit up.
finally we get to answer the question: can emails set on fire?
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.
Wonder what “free speech absolutist” freedoms he’s going to apply to that service.
I've never been more satisfied hosting my own email than after reading this.
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.
Oh awesome, can't wait to explain how I got a porn site email.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
