Elon Musk do you want to use only 'X' to make video calls?

If Musk goes ahead with the idea, he will essentially be forcing people to pay at least $8 a month, the price of an X Premium subscription, to call him.

While all users can receive audio and video calls on X, only Premium subscribers have the ability to make calls. By default, only mutual friends can call each other on the platform. To call someone who doesn't follow you, they must have sent you a direct message at least once. OX enabled audio and video calls on the platform in October last year.

Additionally, giving up your phone number and relying solely on X isn't even entirely possible at the moment due to security limitations. The independent application researcher, Nima Owji, said SMS confirmation codes, like those used for two-factor authentication during the login process, are still an important part of our online lives. Platforms like WhatsApp also use SMS confirmation codes when people want to create an account.

Elon Musk says Neuralink has implanted its first brain chip in humans

Neuralink, a brain chip company founded by Elon Musk, has reached an important milestone in the development of technology that connects the brain to computers. Musk said the first human received a brain chip and is recovering well.

Even X sends SMS confirmation codes to users to authenticate their identity, although the platform only offers this option to Premium subscribers. Free users on from phone.

However, just because experts warn against using SMS as a two-factor authentication method doesn't mean everyone will listen. Many banks and other services still only offer SMS two-factor authentication.

“OX can be used to make phone/video calls, but I think SMS is still an essential part of communication,” said Owji.

The United States government agreesaria. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, uses SMS to send alerts about emergency weather conditions, AMBER alerts, and presidential alerts during national emergencies. Owji does not believe that governments will transfer their alert notifications from SMS to X, at least for now, as this meansaria that they would have to start supporting other messengers as well.
