Elon Musk announces audio and video calls X

Elon Musk is preparing to take on Meta once again with the launch of another polarising Twitter feature.

Audio and video calls will soon be available on the newly named ‘X’, as the tech titan seeks to make his platform the go-to ‘global address book’.

While this move puts X in line with Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, a cybersecurity expert has warned that serious questions surround its safety.

This comes amid plans to axe X’s ‘block’ feature, despite the troubling risk of stalkers, scammers and spammers.

‘Video & audio calls coming to X,’ Musk wrote this morning.

‘Works on iOS, Android, Mac & PC, No phone number needed, X is the effective global address book. That set of factors is unique.’
