Elon Musk represents Xchat, its overthrow application

Elon Musk is going to launch his own message exchange client This will compete with WhatsApp. The magnate announced XChat, a modernized version of direct messages, which will allow Send files, perform video calls and much moreThe field while X already offers messages, Musk wants to raise it to the next level.

According to the publication of his account X, Elon Musk confirmed that The new XChat will be available this weekThis implementation will offer certain functions that we find in applications such as WhatsApp or Telegram, such as ephemeral messages, the ability to send any type of file and the ability to perform audio and video calls.

The content of the messages will be encrypted, and users can do Video calls or audio calls without the need for phone numberThe field Elon states that Xchat is based on a completely new architecture, which offers encryption of the Bitcoins style. The latter generated the opinions of users who claim that encryption in bitcoins does not exist, at least, in the sense of information about transactions.

According to Elon Musk, Xchat will be available to all users this week, although the manager warned that can be postponed if there are problems with the scaleField

XChat is another step to turn X into an overlap promised by Elon Musk

If there are no technical problems, such as in recent days, Elon Musk will take an important step in his strategy to create unique application. If we remember, the owner of the X announced a few years ago that the purpose of buying Twitter was to turn it into the “All into one” application.

Elon Musk Wechat was inspiredOvercoming the Chinese, which combines messaging services, payments, delivery and even games. The manager mentioned that the development of a unique application will take from 3 to 5 yearsTherefore, we are already in this range. Although X does not have some key functions that are considered to be WeChat of the West, the integration of Xchat seems to be a step in the right direction.

The only point that caused a contradiction is safety. Elon Musk said XChat will have encryption “Bitcoin style”But he did not go deep. This is important, since Bitcoin does not protect data from transactions so that only those interested can see them. Unlike WhatsApp messages, the operation is publicly available, although cryptography is used for digital firms that protect the transaction.

Another detail that stands out is that Elon Musk did not mention other customers exchanging messages, although it is clear that this implementation is trying to steal a piece of market. XChat can be a response to WhatsAppAt least for the magnate, who spent years, accusing the appendix for the finish of the fact that he is not safe.
