If XMail does not yet exist, in any case, Elon Musk has once again suggested that he is planning a new email service, which would be presented as a rival to Gmail, Google’s email service.
” Yes. On the to-do list,” Mr. Musk responded to a post from the popular DogeDesigner account, which said “XMail would be cool,” according to Yahoo News and The Standard.
DogeDesigner also released a mockup of the XMail logo.
This has sparked a lot of speculation about the as-yet-non-existent platform, including that it will be a simpler alternative to traditional email services, such as Gmail.
Mr. Musk did not follow up with a more substantive comment, but this is not the first time the investor has suggested XMail.
In February 2024, Mr. Musk suggested similar content. He replied “it’s coming soon” to the message from X user Natemcgrady, “when will we be able to do XMail?” “.
What is XMail?
While Mr. Musk didn’t talk in-depth about XMail, or give any hints about how it might differ from a standard email client, the concept is consistent with plans the billionaire has discussed in the past.
In 2023, Mr. Musk explained to X employees in a meeting why Twitter was renamed to X, a decision that was made for good in July 2022.
Mr. Musk wanted X to become “the all-purpose application”, modeled on the popular Chinese platform WeChat.

Towards a complete service platform
It is essential to offer Xmail an autonomous and free platform while integrating it into an ecosystem, as is the case with Gmail and its Workplace area or Outlook and the Microsoft 365 software suite.
X is not close to achieving this goal. But it has grown since being purchased by Mr. Musk, despite reportedly having less than half the staff of the platform before the acquisition.
X added a job search feature in 2023, and this month it fully opened Grok AI to all users, rather than just Premium subscribers.
