"Elon Musk, the billionaire behind Tesla, SpaceX and X, has announced a new messaging app called X Chat - a project he claims will change digital privacy and communication forever. The app, set to launch in the coming months, will use peer-to-peer encryption "similar to Bitcoin's," ensuring conversations remain private and free from advertising data collection. The announcement came during Musk's recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, where he explained that his team had "rebuilt the entire messaging stack" from the ground up."
""It's using a sort of peer-to-peer-based encryption system," Musk said. "So, it's kind of similar to Bitcoin. I think, it's very good encryption." This approach, Musk explained, is part of his broader philosophy that security should be viewed as "degrees of insecurity," not a simple on-or-off switch. His goal is to make X Chat "the least insecure" messaging app on the market."
Elon Musk announced X Chat, a messaging app set to launch in the coming months. The app will use peer-to-peer encryption "similar to Bitcoin's," designed to keep conversations private and free from advertising data collection. Musk said his team rebuilt the entire messaging stack from the ground up. X Chat will reportedly avoid "hooks for advertising" that create security vulnerabilities by exposing message-derived data. Musk warned that when messaging platforms know enough to show ads, that information can be exploited by hackers. Musk framed security as "degrees of insecurity" and said his goal is to make X Chat "the least insecure" messaging app. X Chat is positioned to compete with encrypted services like WhatsApp and Telegram.
