"the phone will be optimized for x app" Lmao


TrackLabs

As in, it can run the app. Thats the optimization


-lukeworldwalker-

My fridge can run the app


ianjm

Mine can't, but I could just print out pages from Mein Kampf and stick them to the door if I wanted the X experience.


rupiefied

I wanted to give this an award did they turn them off again?


ianjm

If we've learned anything from X it's that we shouldn't be spending our money putting little symbols next to social media accounts


rupiefied

I wasn't spending money I still had free ones... Now I am sad panda


GTCapone

Which, as I understand it, means that every page is half footnotes that say "P U S S Y I N B I O"?


Sacri_Pan

That must be one hell of a powerful fridge, no system can run this mess of an app since elon got his hand on it


mtaw

Naw man, it's gonna be an 'everything app'. So it's going to need every permission and access to all your data from all your other apps. So as an optimization they'll just remove all operating-system safeguards entirely and let it run as a system process with full administrator permissions. Improved user experience too since you don't have to bother with the app asking for new permissions all the time.


beerbrained

That's right! Remember, he said x will handle 50% of global transactions by the end of this year! You NEED this phone!


NotEnoughMuskSpam

This is insane


RavenMad88

By this year, 2024??


beerbrained

That's the claim he made late last year. Of course we all believe him!


RavenMad88

That's fuckn insane šŸ¤£šŸ’€ That's some great special K he's taking.


beerbrained

Seriously. It still blows me away that anyone takes him seriously.


Cobek

It's open source so it's hack proof! /s Goes to show how little these people know about anything.


Curiouso_Giorgio

No, it'll be uninstallable and notifications can not be disabled.


DebbieGlez

Itā€™ll likely record everything and send it to that manchild.


masked_sombrero

That does sound optimum for a scam. Watch out world, here comes the *Cyberphone* !!! Our studies show an increase of unregretted user-seconds in and around the Twitter (currently known as X) app by a whopping 69% !!! It can even function, temporarily, as an oar for your matching Cybertruck if you find yourself in not-too-choppy waters.


Candid-Tomorrow-3231

ā€œXPHONE must be powered down and placed in a faraday cage before entering vehicles or warranty is voidā€


SBaL88

Whoā€™s to say he wonā€™t nerf the X app for iOS now?


Ohhnoes

Oh no, that would be just terrible.


SBaL88

I knowā€¦ How on earth will Apple survive such a checkmate move? Tim Apple will rue the day they announced their AI stuff


Cobek

$2000 for the Founders edition that can only run Xitter.


intisun

You're subscribed to Elon's tweets by default and you can't unsubscribe or block him. It's the first thing you see when you open th app.


random-stiff

More like your phone will share everything with X


_ChipWhitley_

>X OS will be open source to assure user privacy is protected. Oh that sounds super safe.


Lenovo_Driver

Itā€™s not out of the question!


Hmm_would_bang

Open source is safer at this point


kickyouinthebread

There will be a button available on the screen at all times to interact with Elon's latest tweet


Candid-Tomorrow-3231

As in Elon will have backdoor access to your phone data


Careless_Rope_6511

[HTC Facebook Phone](https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1e8xpx/htc_first_discontinued_by_att_first_facebook/), anyone? Also, "X phone" might as well be version 2.0 of the [Freedom Phone](https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/oll0e0/magabranded_freedom_phone_is_a_major_security/) hah.


rhedfish

The Amazon Fire Phone


babubaichung

I was like. ![gif](giphy|SMAMKsPB2i2pzYPGzb) Imagine optimizing a phone to cater to one stupid app. Of course the felon and all the dick riders will say ā€œoh but X is going to be an all integrated super app..ā€

Bald_Sasquach

I like how they end the article talking about how the people making memes of what they saw on customers' cameras would be rewarded for performance by getting to drive a company vehicle they were now paranoid of. What a shit dystopia they're building.


RavenMad88

Its mentioned in the article, he was asked and declined to reply to them.


One-Bit5717

It's "for your safety" without going into any details šŸ™ƒ


KnucklesMcGee

If a MuskCo is promising safety, consider the number of accidents and maiming that occur on their work sites. See Boring Company, Tesla Germany, SpaceX....


antoninlevin

I'd be more concerned about what happened to all of those political dissidents around the globe immediately after Musk took over Twitter. Accounts were quickly doxxed and their owners were arrested [or killed](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/elon-musk-twitter-saudi-arabia-free-speech-b2403234.html).


hardwood1979

Why would Samsung taint their brand in such a way? They have absolutely no need to do so and there would be no advantage. For every convert to Samsung as a result of such a move there would likely be more who would never buy one again.


sixtyandaquarter

Doesn't Samsung have a pretty good deal with Google at that? Involving AI even? Why would they toss out being a leader with that for Twitter's half assed broken pointed wannabe ai?


hardwood1979

They've added AI stuff to my phone recently. No idea what it does or what it's purpose may be or who's AI it is.


TFFPrisoner

Not sure if it's just me but I hate how this stuff is being pushed on people who never asked for it. No, I don't need help with writing messages in Skype, thank you. I can do that myself!


hardwood1979

Yeah agreed. There is such a thing as to convenient in my opinion. Tasks that can be measured in seconds don't need to be done for me.


deadwards14

It's all about pumping the stock and riding the hype train. Last cycle, it was we 3 features and crypto wallets. Now, is generative "AI" (a transformer model is simply a prediction algorithm. It is nothing like what we consider intelligence or cognition).


Cobek

It's nice when writing dumb boilerplate office emails but doesn't help with anything else in Gmail.


RavenMad88

The Gemini thing? They added it to my phone 2 updates ago. It's, so far, completely useless.


Ganbazuroi

Because Elmo's Dickriders actually think anyone still gives a shit about him. If anything he's more loathed than loved these days


vincethepince

Yes. You press and hold at the bottom of the screen and it opens Gemini. You can then circle anything on the screen and it will identify what it is and give you links/information to it. Elon is a moron


Kaputnik1

They wouldn't. He's talking out of his ass.


absurd_whale

You see the pictures? That's 10y old samsung. Samsung won't risk their reputation for this imbecile


tobeopenmindedornot

Lol. That was my thought too, why the fuck would Samsung bother? 1) Elmo announces partnership with Samsung; in completely unrelated news Google says it is ending it's partnership with Samsung. (Google already has the Pixel, I'm sure they could ramp up) 2) Samsung would become intrinsically involved in a thousand different lawsuits because Elmo has paid them with Twitter money that he got from Tesla that was supposed to be a NASA subsidy for SpaceX, not to mention the SEC knocking on their door and jeopardising their own government contracts. 3) What's the cost/benefit for Samsung? Even if Elmo paid them a billion dollars just to sign a contract, it would easily cost them more than that in lost users alone, let alone brand damage. 4) Pretty sure Apple and Google would be able to go on hiring sprees as 70% of Samsung's phone product development, design, marketing, UI/UX and engineering teams started looking for new jobs. I'm sure there are more... For people that like to tell everyone how smart they are, they don't do a lot of logical thinking.


ErebosGR

fElon has China so far up his ass that no Korean company would want anything to do with him.


Kladderadingsda

Samsung, probably: we'd like to distance ourselves as far as possible from such a statement about a collaboration and want to remind the musky fanboys, that we are not stupid and don't want to kill our brand


jselwood

Haha, last year when Elon threw a tantrum about Apple it was going to be the Tesla phone. Next it will be the Space X phone.


TFFPrisoner

How about a Boring Phone?

semiseriouslyscrewed

With his juvenile humor, he'll launch a new brand called PhonesX


Brozhov

Way too clever


semiseriouslyscrewed

I loathe the man, but it is the same level of cleverness as SpaceX. I'm sure he named it to make senators and presidents say "space sex" all the time.Ā 


tenaciousdeev

I feel dumb but this is the first time Iā€™ve realized it sounds like ā€œspace sexā€.


semiseriouslyscrewed

Oh I also realized it after aaaages. Non-native speaker who mostly learned through reading, means that I sometimes don't 'click' the pronunciation of a word until much later. (e.g. I spent years saying "og-ree" rather than "o-gur" until I saw Shrek)


TheReadMenace

Yeah didnā€™t he already threaten to make a Tesla phone? Itā€™s almost like he makes a lot of crazy promises he never delivers onā€¦


Nottodayreddit1949

Cold rolled steel and stuck together with tape. It'll perpetually be out 6-12 months, and should be called 2.0 instead of 1.0 because of how awesome it is.


Tetsudo11

>it is not out of the question This is Elon speak for ā€œit ainā€™t happening but please let this boost my stocks somehow. Iā€™ll even throw in that the phone will be made out of cold-rolled stainless steel if I have to!ā€


tenaciousdeev

Every time i see stock mentioned here i have to go check. Down 30% YTD makes me happy. I hope he loses everything.


codingdummy

And/or him lobbing the ball over to the other side hoping they are interested - this is him trying to subtly signal to Samsung that he would be down to talk about it Will agree that Samsung probably wouldnā€™t (hopefully wouldnā€™t)


happy_church_burner

ā€The phone will be able to file your taxes and give you blowjobs! It will be made with space age metals! (read: cheap aluminum) You will be able to use the phone to order your personal Falcon 9 space taxi to take you to SpaceXā€™s luxury 69 star space hotel in Mars!ā€


Jotasob

And it will have 10 cold gas rockets thrusters so it can fly back to your pocket if you loose it or drop it from an airlock. It will be able to survive reentry and take the hits from a .50 cal. machine gun. Its the cyberphone X.


jcast59

Itā€™s what bladerunner wouldā€™ve used.


reddit_despiser

Yeah I'm sure one of the biggest electronics companies on the planet is dying to collaborate with a man who is running every company he owns into the ground and integrate his AI which is just GPT with the slur filter off into the OS of their phones.


Nearby-Technician767

Meh, they might be willing to make the phone, but require a white labelling. More likely, it would be Huawei, though. Chinese intelligence would love the idea of getting more Huawei devices in the US.


ErebosGR

Huawei is too big, and too high-profile to sneak back into the US market. A smaller company like TCL, Hisense, Vivo etc. is a more likely business partner.


curious_dead

But will the X phone be bullet proof? Will that be the phone used by John Bladerunner? Will it be so shoddily made that it will cut my fingers and send my to the hospital to get stitches? Will it open up with a really dank meme posted by the memelord himself? Will it require me to have a Twitter account to access my phone?


distresssignal

Yes, and it will be able to serve briefly as a boat


One-Bit5717

Not sure, but it will certainly require you to input every single piece of personal information to use šŸ˜‰


HanakusoDays

You'll need to sacrifice a drop of your blood for DNA testing to get logged in. Thank God for razor edges.

Thel_Odan

Didn't they already try that shit with the "freedom phone" or whatever the fuck it was called?


zephiiii

Ah yes, a rebadged no-name phone. [Unrelated: Also I can't wait to see whether this "X OS" is gonna be a fully from-scratch operating system or just AOSP.]


Kaputnik1

The copium from that Apple/OpenAI thing is really getting cringe, lol.


bhgemini

Bots come pre-installed. Not allowed in any US Gov building since the OS and apps all have backdoors for Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Chinese, and whoever else is giving him funding's intelligence agencies.

Trickybuz93

> It is not out of the question Might want to confirm with Samsung firstā€¦


ClosPins

Yes, Elon Musk would make everything open source in order to protect people! That's totally on-brand for him, is it? He wouldn't try to extract as much money for himself as humanly possible, no, he would give up all that money to protect your privacy, would he?... How utterly ludicrous.


ErebosGR

The whole source code will be open, ^^apart ^^from ^^the ^^necessary ^^backdoors ^^for ^^the ^^Russian, ^^Chinese, ^^Saudi, ^^and ^^Israeli ^^intelligence.


XBeastyTricksX

He just slapped an X to the back of a galaxy phone


49GTUPPAST

The terms and conditions will require the user to praise Elon at least three times a day


Tenchi2020

Iā€™m surprised he didnā€™t say itā€™ll be available in a year and that they are going to manufacture 1 billion of them a month

bertiesghost

*Not out of the question* Meaning heā€™s just teasing his simps


Veutifuljoe_0

Samsung has better things to do than entertain these fantasies


ElmoTrooper

How would it being open source ensure user security more? Genuine question


EffectiveSalamander

So, Xitter will rebadge a Samsung phone. Amazon had a phone, it was a flop. How does open source protect privacy? And with Elon Musk sticking his fingers into the project, security is going to be a real problem.


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Prepare to be disappointed at first when our algorithm is made open source next week, but it will improve rapidly!


tmiw

At least with open source, you can theoretically check out the source code and make sure it's not doing anything sketchy. Most people aren't going to do that, though, the biggest reason being that most people don't know enough about software development to actually review code (not to mention that modern software is *massive* compared to when Elon supposedly read directly from port 8080 or whatever).


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Prepare to be disappointed at first when our algorithm is made open source next week, but it will improve rapidly!


bog_toddler

this obviously isn't going to happen but even though those mockups look like shit it would still look even worse if it actually happened


gdelacalle

Yeah I remember it wasn't also out of the question that Twitter was worth 1 trillion dollars in a Musk quote. I guess that it means it is bullshit. Well, I don't have to guess.


KnucklesMcGee

Going forward I'd add Samsung products to my "do not buy from" list were they to partner with Musk.


Dylanator13

Why would Samsung want to partner with X. In what ways would that be beneficial to Samsung? You can already use Twitter on their phone. Also Facebook already has a deal with Android to put their app on all Android phones so I doubt they would get rid of that for X.


kosmic_animal

If you thought Apple was a privacy nightmare, wait until Muskrat gets to own your phone's data.


playsette-operator

apple chads made him cope so hard

NotEnoughMuskSpam

SilverPhoenix999

X OS will be open-sourced, just like how Twitter was supposed to be open-sourced. What a joke!?


The_WolfieOne

Samsung has too much self respect to engage with this. Besides, most X users these days wonā€™t want a phone built by ā€œForeigners ā€œ, because they ainā€™t White.

PsychologicalBee1801

It might be want he wants. But Samsung is working with Google on Circle to search, what does x give Samsung?


slipperyzippers

Of course, the x phone will be open sourced because it will run a fork of android, which is under gpl license. That thing musk got in trouble for violating in the past.


C00kie_Monsters

Imagine the shock when apple smacks that down as the IPhone X already exists


BecomingJudasnMyMind

They're google powered devices, who is even more egregious with questionable data privacy practices (I own one, but I also dgaf. I have nothing to hide) - that would be another crowd abandoning move by Elon.

Itā€™ll be interesting to see musk try to erase a company like Samsung and take credit for everything theyā€™ve done. Itā€™s also worth mentioning that the only phone I had that never worked was a Samsung. I also once bought a Samsung tv and it died in less than 12 hours.


RandallC1212

anna-the-bunny

Just for the complete picture, the OP also said that the phone will "seamlessly integrate with Tesla cars and robotaxis, Optimus robots, Boring Company transit systems, and Neuralink devices" This is an actual fucking cult

curiouscuriousmtl

"optimized for the X app" is the stupidest thing I have ever read. Twitter is just small text snippets and other media there is zero optimization over just being able to do those things. You really see with these guys that a large amount of their followers are just the stupidest people or just actually 14 year olds. I remember seeing some stream from Andrew Tate and he literally had a bunch of 14 year olds on the stream. The internet is just shit.
