    ProtonMail is enough for me.

    Shove that stupid ‘X’ up your ass, Musk.

    He’s seemingly trying to create a suite of social networking and other tools. Maybe to compete with Google and the likes. Ambitious for sure. I don’t know if he’ll have any success given how Twitter is going.

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

    … 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).

    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.

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

    And I’d never trust Zuckerberg with my email
