Elon Musk says he’s creating “XMail” an alternative to Gmail.
Elon Musk criticized Google for its Gemini AI chatbot’s text-to-image generation feature. Google, an Alphabet subsidiary, has announced that it is halting Gemini’s image generation. Google will release an improved version soon, saying, “We’re aware that Gemini is offering inaccuracies in some historical image generation depictions.”
Amid the ongoing controversy, Elon Musk labeled Google as ‘insane’ and ‘anti-civilization’, claiming that the company overreached with Gemini’s AI image-generation capabilities.
Elon Musk wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “I’m glad that Google overplayed their hand with their AI image generation, as it made their insane racist, anti-civilizational programming clear to all.”
In a recent Twitter exchange, tech visionary Elon Musk hinted at the creation of XMail, a potential competitor to Google’s popular Gmail service. When a user inquired about the possibility of a new email platform, Musk responded cryptically, “It’s coming.” This brief but intriguing statement has sparked speculation and anticipation among technophiles worldwide.
Musk, known for his pioneering efforts in space exploration, electric vehicles, and artificial intelligence, has a track record of upending established industries. Musk’s ventures, including SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink, have consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation. Now, it appears that he intends to reinvent email communication.
Elon Musk aims to turn Twitter into an ‘everything app‘
Elon Musk’s recent rebranding of Twitter as X marks a step toward the CEO’s goal of creating an “everything app.” Musk’s vision is for X to serve as a one-stop shop for all of your digital needs, including chat, grocery delivery, video streaming, and financial management.
An everything app, also known as a “super app,” offers a diverse range of features, including social networking, online shopping, and financial services. It’s essentially a mash-up of several popular apps, including Instagram, Uber, WhatsApp, and PayPal.
The intended goal of an all-in-one app is to simplify daily tasks by eliminating the need to switch between platforms. Everything apps collaborate with third-party service providers to create an ecosystem in which users can switch between different tasks without leaving the app or installing any additional apps on their devices.
In recent years, Musk has expressed concerns about the power wielded by large tech companies
The prospect of an email service developed under Musk’s leadership has sparked significant interest. Given his track record of ambitious projects and forward-thinking ideas, many believe that XMail will include cutting-edge features while prioritizing user privacy and security.
In recent years, Musk has expressed concerns about the power wielded by large tech companies, as well as the need for increased competition in various sectors. His move into email services could be viewed as part of a larger effort to challenge Silicon Valley’s dominance and promote innovation and choice in the digital realm.
