* The tech entrepreneur has revealed a product called 'XMail' is 'coming'
* Elon Musk launches his answer to ChatGPT called 'Grok'
Elon Musk has already released his own version of ChatGPT.
Now it seems the tech entrepreneur is about to take on Google's Gmail by creating an email service of his own.
In an exchange on his social media platform X, Musk has revealed that a product called 'XMail' is 'coming'.
He's offered no more details about the service, so it's unclear when it may be available, although it's expected to be integrated within the X app.
MailOnline has contacted the press department at X (formerly Twitter) for comment.
The news was revealed when Nathan McGrady, an engineer at X posted the message: 'When we making XMail?'
Musk simply replied with the words: 'It's coming.'
Musk has a habit of making outlandish promises that don't come to fruition, so it's worth taking this one with a pinch of salt.
Even if XMail is released, it will have to be something special to usurp Gmail, the world's most popular email service
According to Demand Sage, Gmail has more than 1.8 billion active users globally as of 2024.
Social media consultant Rhea Freeman said X's version of Gmail 'might happen' and if it does 'it'll be interesting to see the uptake'.

Uh, how is this a surprise? Musk wants the X app to be a WeChat for the free world. It would have mail, voice, messaging, payment, and oh yeah, Twotter.
Not just Gmail, Google is shutting down the entire world this year
Microsoft is the controlling entity behind OpenAI and ChatGPT — Google’s LMs are having trouble getting the same exposure.
LLMs
Thanks for the reminder. I just got a Fitbit Inspire 3 watch. All black, not some girl colors, which most Inspire 3 bands are — No wonder they are also called fitness trackers. F’ing google tracks you with it. I must check my Fitbits location settings. I think I opted out on that.
So now you can be tracked via your phone. And via your fitbit which is most useful when you wear it all the time. Even when sleeping. It is a sleep monitor too. How long you slept. Your O2 levels when sleeping and more.
Warning — This model fitbit will not give you on the fly O2 readings. Only records your O2 while sleeping, that you can read the next day. This must be great if you have sleep apnea and similar.
Wrong! Bing AI search is lots of fun and does what you describe. But AI is lots more than that. See any of Joe Allen's videos on YouTube. --- https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Joe+Allen+AI
Many of the top AI guys want to make 10x more millions money and more power over peasants like you and me. AI is already planting chips into chimps brains. Mice and a few humans too.
You are absolutely right. I should have known that. I’ve been off my game recently
HA, when I click on page, it says RISKY!!
Anyone on here using Gmail that doesn’t have to is not paying attention.
