Overview
- X will keep an integrated Chat inside the main app and plans a separate X Chat app in the coming months, according to Musk.
- He describes a peer-to-peer-style encryption approach he likens to Bitcoin and says the system is undergoing testing.
- Musk says the service is designed without advertising hooks to limit metadata exposure that could be exploited.
- The current in-app Chat is a Premium beta replacing legacy DMs with text, photos, media, GIFs, and file sharing tied to X handles.
- Audio and video calling are part of the roadmap but are not available in the present beta, which Musk says aims to be the “least insecure” option.
