    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.

    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?

    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.

      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.

    I genuinely don’t understand why anyone would go through the effort of switching email providers from one free spyware email provider to another free spyware email provider.

    More email providers is generally good, as long as you always have forwarding and import export options. It makes no sense for X to spend money on this, but hey, go for it.

    Good luck handling the spam, lol.

      As musky is a free speech absolute, all spam is welcome and spammers can pay with dogecoin to feature their spam in your Inbox. It’ll be great!

      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.

      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.

        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.

      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.
