Musk Taps Bitcoin-Level Security for XChat’s New Private Messaging

The new messaging system, built in Rust, will support encrypted chats, vanishing messages, file sharing, and audio/video calls. While Musk emphasized user confidentiality, crypto experts quickly challenged his terminology—pointing out that Bitcoin itself isn’t encrypted, sparking debate over what “Bitcoin style” actually means.
