Elon Musk Confirms Launch of 'Xmail' Email Service, Competing with Gmail

Dec 16, 2024, 11:26 AM

Elon Musk has confirmed that X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, is set to launch its own email service, tentatively named 'Xmail.' This announcement comes after Musk hinted at the project earlier this year. The new service is expected to integrate seamlessly with users' existing X accounts, allowing emails to be sent directly to users' direct message inboxes. The launch is being positioned as a competitor to established email services like Gmail, with features that may include enhanced privacy and artificial intelligence capabilities. Musk's initiative reflects his ongoing strategy to expand X into a multifunctional platform, often referred to as the 'Everything App.'
