I guess Musk digs RAH.
I think it’s high time for someone to actually compete with Google, I’m not sure Elon Musk can do it, but if anyone can offer a credible option to Google, he can.
Don’t make as hard to get , LOL
I would guess that their search engine is still their main source of revenue, or, at least, the linchpin.
Some mega entrepreneur will come along after him and rename everything to Y.
If it is competitive with Drive they will do well.
Have had gmail 20 years, will be happy to change to X.
I didn’t see it in the article (scanned only), but Google is shutting down gmail this year.
With XMail...if I’m quick...I might get a recognizable email address. Maybe moovova@xmail.com or hunk@xmail.com.
I waited so long with gmail, I had to settle for yh48nnw902z@gmail.com as an email address.
Try telling that to people when they ask for your email address.
Gmail’s primary draw is that it’s a key to that universe. If you’ve got a Gmail account then you also have a YouTube account, and googledocs, and google meet, and google drive. And if people want to share these things with you (ie include on a googledoc and talk about it with google meet) it’s way easier if you ALSO have a gmail account. Gmail itself is nothing, just another email server. But that key to the whole google universe, that’s something.
I’ll get x mail as soon as available.
>> Musk has a habit of making outlandish promises that don’t come to fruition
...says Jonathan Chadwick, a snotnose journalism grad who has never done anything noteworthy in his whole life.
Should I believe him? Or believe my own lyin’ eyes?
For sure I will look at X-Mail when it comes out. My guess is that it will be like Proton Mail that is encrypted. I Mosty use Gmail, because its search is v good and it is highly navigable. But I will be out!!! of Gmail and archive my inbox which is getting near the 15GB limit and has done so a few times. Then switch to X-Mail. And notify everyone which is a pain in arse.

I know XMail will not be the data collecting morass monster that Gmail and Yahoo mail are. Microsoft’s web based Outlook Mail too. Collecting data because they can. Though they also sell this data to marketers/ How much cam they earn from this? I doubt that it is super high dollars/
My favorite TV -— Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver starts streaming on Netflix on April 19, 2024. The Imperium will never forget this day.
Lers see if XMail rollout beats this date of April 19, 2024
I’m in. Take it down elon.
xmail.com is available.
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.
