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
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 will be sure to auto filter any emails from that shit.
So white-power mail?
“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.
ProtonMail is enough for me.
Shove that stupid ‘X’ up your ass, Musk.
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 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.
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
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.
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 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.
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.
