#ElonMuskXChat Elon Musk announced XChat, a new messaging feature on X, boasting end-to-end encryption, disappearing messages, and the ability to send various file types. Notably, it allows audio and video calls without requiring a phone number.
XChat represents Musk's push to enhance privacy and security on the platform, aligning with his goal to make X a comprehensive app for communication, finance, and more. The use of Rust and claims of "Bitcoin-style" encryption suggest a focus on robust, decentralized security.
The crypto community has expressed mixed reactions. While some applaud the move towards enhanced privacy, others question the technical accuracy of the "Bitcoin-style encryption" claim, pointing out that Bitcoin's protocol doesn't use encryption in the traditional sense.
As XChat rolls out to more users, its adoption and the clarity around its security features will determine its impact on the messaging landscape and Musk's broader ambitions for X.
