    Melon musk, the Stevia Jobs of Tesla. Owner of X, X, X and another thing called X

    Gmail rival

    It’s called an email provider and there are already a million of those. Don’t act like it’s some fancy high tech stuff

        Damn. Imagine an email service that makes actual emails impossible to find, but constantly bombards your inbox with the most hellish cringest spam imaginable.

        He’s reinventing Yahoo Mail. Real “Return To Tradition” hours. It’ll be like the 90s all over again.

    I appreciate that that wording must have been annoying (if not painful) to write for a trans person but she still did it because it was too good an opportunity to pass.

      Though still active, my Gmail now forwards everything to Proton Mail. It’s not as nice, though very serviceable for the not-particularly-high volume of e-mail I receive.

    Ah good, a mail service that scans your mailbox, determines if you’re left leaning, and then doxes you to the Proud Boys/3 Percenters/Oath Keepers/etc. Fantastic idea.

    Rephrased: Elon Musk would like to scan the emails of gullible conservative’s to feed his LLMs.

      In 2013 he said that his cars would be self-driving by 2016 and has been promising that it would finally happen “by the end of this year” or “next year” ever since.

      Other than paying much smarter, more skilled, and generally better people to do stuff and take credit for their work, throwing out random shit and demanding that others make it happen is literally ALL he’s done professionally since he made a Space Invaders clone as a kid. That and self-promoting.

      He’s the richest man in the world and also the perfect example of the fact that the ultra-rich don’t become ultra-rich because they’re smarter or more talented or because they just work really hard.

      Being rich already; ruthless opportunism at the cost of the health, happiness, and often lives of others; and shamelessly relentless propaganda is how billionaires are made.

        That’s hilarious and depressing.

        The author of that page gave up in May 2021. I’m guessing that they sold their Tesla shares in utter disgust at that point.

        Pretty sure that it still hasn’t happened today in Jan 2025, despite people making adult movies in the front of a “self-driving” Tesla. Something that seems like a life limiting choice if ever I saw one.

      Email would be monumentally easy to offer. Setting up an email servers is easy AF, and if he wanted to, he could chuck any number of free web clients on it.

      My guess is that this is a fast and easy way to feed his LLMs with more content.

    There is zero chance that people will create filters that automatically delete anything with an xmail domain. Nope. No chance whatsoever. Anything coming from someone who uses xmail has to be worth reading, right?

    Fuck big email providers. All my homies use proton mail 😎

    We always have to remember that e-mail is a decentralized protocol. If so many people use one e-mail provider then e-mail will be less of a decentralized protocol and can be monopolised. I will hate it.

      Or Tuta (formerly Tutanota) with my own domain. It’s neither that hard to set up nor expensive.

        Even proton has that feature for custom domain if paid for premium

        First time heard of tutanota though
