Xmail, a email service. Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has teased a new email service called “Xmail” on his platform X (formerly Twitter). This new service could compete with Gmail, which is owned by Google. The idea for Xmail came from a tweet by a user named DogeDesigner, who said, “Mail would be cool.” Musk replied, “It’s on the list of things to do.” This small conversation got a lot of attention in the tech world.
In February, Elon Musk shared his plans for Xmail. He wants to compete with Gmail, a service used by 1.8 billion people. However, Gmail and other services like Microsoft Outlook have been around for a long time. And also Gmail and Outlook offers many features, its really hard to beat them. Still, we all know how Elon Musk is crazy about technology. So if Musk launches Xmail, it will really become a strong competitor to companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft.
Yeah. On the list of things to do.
