Elon Musk says he wants 'Twitter 2.0' to have video chat, voice calls, and encrypted DMs — and has enlisted the help of Signal's founder
, an ex-Twitter employee, who is"potentially willing to help out" with encrypting Twitter DMs.
"We want to enable users to be able to communicate without being concerned about their privacy," Musk said, citing potential data breaches which could leak messages, or employees spying on users.Twitter users' information to Saudi ArabiaMusk said:"It should be the case that I can't look at anyone's DMs if somebody has a gun to my head."
He also added that he wanted to allow voice and video chat via DMs, a feature already available on Facebook and WhatsApp. Musk explained how Twitter could allow for secure calls without having to give out your phone number, which is the case with Signal. Replacing phone numbers with more-identifiable account usernames is a popular idea among tech circles. Musk last week echoed Twitter founder Jack Dorsey's support for such a concept.It is unclear if the encrypted calls and messaging would be available to all users, or only as part of the $8-per-month Twitter Blue subscription.
