I feel like I'd even trust Zuckerberg over Musk with my email

And I'd never trust Zuckerberg with my email

I can’t wait for twitter’s youtube competitor Xvideos!

It's like Gmail but with racism!

"I'm sorry, you cannot send this email because it contains the words "cisgender", please edit this and try again."

cant wait to automatically send any xmail.com emails to junk

edit oooh haha that domain already exists so basically elon is sol

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.

ProtonMail is enough for me.

Shove that stupid 'X' up your ass, Musk.

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.

GMail could actually use more competitors. However I definitely won't be trusting Musk with my email.

Get fucked Elon.

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 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).

lol ew

And just like that, I'm suddenly way more comfortable google....

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.

Sure musk, get my private stuff. No, F off you nazi as*hole.

I will be sure to auto filter any emails from that shit.

I wonder when he'll create an online Fax service and call it FaXimile or something.

finally we get to answer the question: can emails set on fire?

X-Mailer is a thing already tho.

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.

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.

So white-power mail?

I've never been more satisfied hosting my own email than after reading this.

Wonder what “free speech absolutist” freedoms he’s going to apply to that service.

Oh awesome, can't wait to explain how I got a porn site email.

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.

... 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).
