June 06, (THEWILL) – Elon Musk has unveiled XChat, a new encrypted messaging feature designed to rival global communication platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal, as part of his broader ambition to transform X (formerly Twitter) into an all-in-one digital ecosystem.
The new feature, announced over the weekend, includes end-to-end encryption, vanishing messages, file sharing, and audio/video calling, marking a major upgrade to the platform’s existing direct messaging tool.
“All new XChat is rolling out with encryption, vanishing messages, and the ability to send any kind of file. This is built on Rust with Bitcoin-style encryption and a whole new architecture. You can do audio/video calls without a phone number across all platforms”, Musk said in a post.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has threatened to cancel all federal government contracts with Musk’s companies amid a raging feud between the two former allies.
In retaliation, the former head of DOGE has ordered the decommissioning of the SpaceX Dragon Spacecraft.
The Dragon spacecraft is the only way US space travel could happen unless it resorts to doing it as was the case before former President Barack Obama stopped it and made a contract with SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk.
Also, Musk’s social media application, X, formerly Twitter, has deactivated President Donald Trump’s account on X.
Musk fires back on X, declaring, “Trump would have lost the election” without him. Along with barbed attacks on the president and GOP leaders, he also agreed with a post on X calling for Trump’s impeachment.
