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.
Is this satire? I genuinely cannot tell anymore
If it does not ask for a phone number, it could be a good alternative for temp email.
You can create Google accounts without phone number using any Android device. Perhaps even emulator would do.
I think it starts to ask you for a phone number if you log in on a desktop?
Right, but then the account is inextricably tied to your Android device, no? Which is just as bad, if not worse imo.
But you can just use some old phone. Or perhaps emulator or something like Bliss OS installed on USB stick or in a VM.
But Google can and will probably link it with any device you log in on anyway. And after all, Android devices don’t have to be used just by one person either. So perhaps removing the account from the device is good enough.
Doesnt protonmail offer this?
There are a lot of existing alternatives to temp mail, you shouldn’t need to resort to anything he has to offer…
There are but most of them are blocked anyways
nice litmus paper for forever ignoring people
This dude is fully losing it. I’m predicting some kind of massive meltdown very soon.
What do you mean… “very soon”?
Isn’t he actively in it? Dude is publicly calling King Charles to make the UK an autocracy lol,supporting German far-right groups, etc etc
He what?

he what?
I think the answer to that question is “a lot of ketamine”.
Can we just send him to Mars already?
Good idea. And I don’t really even care how far the rocket makes it. Doesn’t even need to achieve lift, imo.
Give him the old Apollo 10
I’m not so sure. I reckon he’s using a Trump-style strategy of just constantly doing and saying outrageous rubbish in order to dominate people’s attention. i.e. He just wants people to be paying attention to him, and thinking about him, and writing about him, regardless of whether it is positive or negative.
I believe he is doing this as a deliberate strategy, knowing that even if a lot of the reaction is negative, it still means that he has the attention of the world - and that people will listen to what he is saying.
I never thought of this as that. Now that I think about it, in the early internet days there were many people who became successful and famous solely because they produced content which people reacted very negatively. So it goes back to the old saying no advertisement is bad
Also his ultimate goal is to become a trillionaire. Because he thinks we live in a simulation and that he is the main player and he wants to beat the high score. And he found out the best way to achieve that is to create a cult around him. Tesla stock only soared to those heights because of him as a person not because the company’s performance. People are buying Tesla stock like it’s a tithe to the Elon church. And to keep people in the cult of Elon he sows division. The more negativity surrounding him from outsiders the more his cult followers will dig their heels into the ground and buy more of his stocks and products.
Yeah, I think the point where he will be trying to convert MAGA to his cult is when Trump will become his enemy. So far both think they can manipulate the other to help themselves, because they both suffer from the same narcissistic delusions and are sociopaths.
I’m a fan of ketamine, but some people are just too stupid to handle it. Like no, dude, you didn’t discover the secrets of the universe, you took a drug and your brain dissociated from your body for a bit. Just enjoy it for what it is and move on.
Obviously. Because buying twitter was a great idea.
Yes, but this meme (somehow) needs an edit featuring Willam Defoe’s character from Boondock Saints:
Rephrased: Elon Musk would like to scan the emails of gullible conservative’s to feed his LLMs.
“They trust me. Dumb fucks.”
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!
Gmail rival
It’s called an email provider and there are already a million of those. Don’t act like it’s some fancy high tech stuff
I think you forgot who the target market is…
Damn. Imagine an email service that makes actual emails impossible to find, but constantly bombards your inbox with the most hellish cringest spam imaginable.
He’s reinventing Yahoo Mail. Real “Return To Tradition” hours. It’ll be like the 90s all over again.
Gmail is arguably the last good thing Google still has going for it.
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 just wish proton mail supported clients.
It does have a bridge for Windows to use with other clients, not so much for phones though
Yeah, but its still paid. don’t see why they cant do that instead of some other useless product that no one will use.
The bridge isn’t paid?
You can also use Proton Mail for free, much like Gmail is free up to a certain storage point.I’m pretty sure you have to pay to use the bridge, thats what i was referring to. I use proton main on the free plan.
says there that its only available for paid subscribers.
Oh, my bad.
I would argue that Google drive is also the last good thing Google still has going for it
Having to use Gmail for work, I heartily disagree lol. What a piss-poor email system
Is this the greek X? Because then it would be Chi-Mail (aka Shemale)
The X is pronounced “twitter.”
That’s not how that’s pronounced in Greek. It’s just like Kai in Cobra Kai. Or the first syllable of the name Kyle.
You’re 100% right and I would normally die on that hill right alongside you, but if it triggers the chuds, just this once, I’m on team “chee”.
He is 100% wrong. Thats not how you pronounce it in Greek. Kai is how english people pronounce the greek X, but greeks pronounce it as Chi.
Well then that’s even better!
That’s how English people pronounce it, because English lacks the “ch” sound in most dialects.
Greeks pronounce it as “chee”, where the “ch” is pronounced more like the Scottish “loch” or the X in “LaTeX”. It’s not pronounced with a hard ‘K’. Still doesn’t really work for the “shemale” joke though, but a but closer I suppose.
All of the pronounciation videos beg to differ
KyleMail would be a much better domain than xmail tbh. Especially if your name isn’t Kyle. ESPECIALLY if you don’t even KNOW anyone named Kyle 😁
Fuck big email providers. All my homies use proton mail 😎
We always have to remember that e-mail is a decentralized protocol. If so many people use one e-mail provider then e-mail will be less of a decentralized protocol and can be monopolised. I will hate it.
Already is. I’ve even met a couple sites that only accepted GMail and Outlook addresses for sign-ups. And good luck making sure you don’t end up in spam with something else.
Out of interest, how does the spam find a self hosted email? If i, for example, only submitted it one two sites where it was never leaked, and i never publicly posted it?
I mean that YOUR emails would possibly end up in spam of say GMail users.
Oh yeah. https://pluralistic.net/2021/10/10/dead-letters/
Especially funny considering little spam comes from self hosted email.
Or Tuta (formerly Tutanota) with my own domain. It’s neither that hard to set up nor expensive.
Even proton has that feature for custom domain if paid for premium
First time heard of tutanota though
Stop giving this fuckhead attention for vapor ware.
I liked it for the transfem joke but everyone here is just making fun of elon :(
The joke is good, don’t worry. Elon on the other hand…
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.
