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
It would probably be mail.x[.]com
he could just use x.com for that too
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'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
I will be sure to auto filter any emails from that shit.
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
So white-power mail?
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
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.
lol ew
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..
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.
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
Dang that's a bit harsh to the poor 12 year olds, being compared to someone like that!
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 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.
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.
Get fucked Elon.
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.
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.
I wonder when he'll create an online Fax service and call it FaXimile or something.
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.
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.
Oh awesome, can't wait to explain how I got a porn site email.
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.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
