Elon Musk’s XChat: A New Contender for WhatsApp - Elon Musk introduces XChat as part of his vision to turn X into an “everything app.” Explore its features, security model, and potential to rival WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal.
Elon Musk has never hidden his ambition to transform X (formerly Twitter) into an “everything app.” Latest step toward that goal is XChat, a secure messaging feature designed to compete directly with WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal.
With promises of end to end encryption, vanishing messages, file sharing, and even calls without a phone number, XChat positions itself as a bold alternative in increasingly competitive messaging landscape. But can it truly rival established giants?
What Is XChat?
XChat is not just another direct messaging upgrade it’s Musk’s attempt to redefine communication on X.
According to reports from Forbes, Vanguard News, and Techpression, XChat offers:
- End to end encryption (“Bitcoin style”)
- Self destructing messages
- File sharing and group chats
- Audio/video calls without needing a phone number
Features Breakdown
End to End Encryption
XChat claims to use Rust based encryption inspired by Bitcoin architecture (Techpression, Rifnote, Business Insider). Promise is simple: only sender and recipient can read conversation.
Vanishing Messages
For users concerned about privacy, XChat supports disappearing messages that auto delete after being read (Techpression, Business Insider).
File Sharing & Group Chats
Users can send any type of file, create group chats, mark messages as unread, and protect chats with a 4 digit PIN (IKN Pos, LatestLY).
Calls Without Phone Number
One of its most innovative features is ability to make audio and video calls without linking a phone number (Vanguard News, Business Times).
XChat represents a bold step in Musk’s plan to create an “everything app.” If its encryption model proves robust and its features deliver on promises, X could become a legitimate alternative to WhatsApp and Telegram.
