In a nutshell: we have unclear comments from Musk and unclear statements in the FAQ (which might not have been written by a technical person). Until they release a technical white paper, we don’t know anything for sure.
- 0xEF 1y agoSure we know that we should not trust anything Musk or X claims? By now? I mean, come on.
- Meekro 1y agoSome things Musk claimed have happened, others have not. For example, he promised that they would release a satellite Internet platform that was better than most of the others, and they did. On the other hand, he promised that Grok 3 would be massively better than ChatGPT, and it turned out to be comparable at best.
- michaelteter 1y agoWhen you make a lot of bold claims, and you have your (or a lot of someone else's) money to help you back up the claims with (clumsy) actions, sometimes your bold claims turn out to be truthy.
- cyanydeez 1y agoSure, ill sell you this broken clock. Its been shown to know atleast two times a day.
- mort96 1y agoThe first time I heard about this "XChat" was through a screenshot of Musk's tweet where he said it has "bitcoin style" encryption. Honestly, it was obvious just from reading that, that Musk has absolutely no idea what he's talking about when it comes to cryptography, and that nobody he has talked to on the development team has any clue either. That doesn't mean that we know for sure that the team doesn't have cryptography experts, but ... I have my doubts. Surely we'd have heard details by now if that was the case. (I mean "Bitcoin style"! The most important part of encrypted chat is confidentiality, and no part of Bitcoin's architecture even ATTEMPTS to ensure confidentiality! Everything's permanently stored in plaintext on the public ledger FFS!!!!)
- briandear 1y agoYou think Elon Musk doesn’t know what he’s talking about? Sorry, you might disagree with his politics, but the assertion that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about it absurd.
- ben_w 1y ago"with artificial intelligence, we are summoning the demon." - Musk He then invested in OpenAI, is still trying to make FSD a thing, wants humans and AI to merge via Neuralink, made humanoid robots, and made grok because he parted ways with OpenAI. If he knows what he's talking about in general, this combination makes him a demonolater. Given how often (and for how long) he keeps saying FSD is just around the corner — and how poorly recieved have been TBC's tunnels, Neuralink's research, grok, Twitter's changes under Musk, Optimus, Cybertruck, his comments when sharing a video of him attempting to play high-leveled characters in some video games — I have every reason to think he doesn't know much outside of rockets and sales/motivational speeches. I don't even need to reference the salutes, supporting AfD, DOGE etc. as examples here.
- protocolture 1y agoElon Musk doesnt know what he is talking about, when he strays away from business to pretend he is technical. Doing so, is a business tactic. We know he is full of shit, but it gives him some kind of status in front of other business people.

- lawn 1y agoHe's made many comments that betray the fact that he's absolutely clueless in many areas, even those he should be knowledgeable in. This is just the latest example.
- mort96 1y ago> You think Elon Musk doesn’t know what he’s talking about? Correct
- mjg59 1y agoSure we do - the client code is already out there.
