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.

If so, Google oa going to be a safe choice.

Get fucked Elon.

Don't go there guys

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

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

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

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.

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.

It's like Gmail but with racism!

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

It's self-destruct and it's a feature!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I'll be sticking with Protonmail, personally

The bar is pretty low, but yeah. At least Google provides a pretty good email service. I can't have the same confidence in a Musk product.

This remembers me of the possibility of him buying TikTok and renaming it to "X Vídeos". What are the odds of such a tragicomedy to happen?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

And also profess his love of hamsters.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I think it could happen. As soon as he's in the government, they will decide that TikTok is illegal, and he'll either launch the clone or buy the US version from them.

I actually believe it's more likely than not.

Then the propaganda machine will include both Twitter and TikTok. You'll probably never see a fair election again in the US.

Wait didn't they already decide TikTok was illegal? I thought that ban was taking effect soon

That would be hilarious

I live in some hope that he renames his holding company "XCOM" so that it can join the likes of Skynet in making our childhoods real..

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

But xcom were supposed to be the good ones. Have we been lied all this time?

[–] [email protected] 124 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

And I'd never trust Zuckerberg with my email

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I wouldn't even trust them with my public keys
