Turned on by default, tool lets anyone you follow potentially call you up
X adds video calling — and lets strangers ring you: Turned on by default, tool lets anyone you follow potentially call you up::Turned on by default, tool lets anyone you follow potentially call you up
I remember years ago a high school friend of mine freaked out because her phone number and current address showed up in one of those free people search sites. I asked her “Are you listed in the phone book?” and she said “oh… yeah… I am”.
My bet is he’d be too fucking arrogant and think people would genuinely call him out of admiration and he could create some viral moment showcasing how awesome he is.

Why do people still use X these days? Stop using and EM will eventually be forced to close the company down
Anyone still on twitter who is actually affected by this deserves every bit of it. What else did they think Musky was going to do.
BRB, double-checking that shitty app is not on my phone…
I’m going to go ahead and assume the one person on X that you can’t call is old Muck himself. Wonder why?
Then again, X is such a shit show and Elon is so incapable of thinking two steps ahead of his feet that maybe you can call him lol
Why would anyone want this functionality?
I’m guessing this is so if Elon gets a negative reply to one of his tweets he can call that person up and threaten them or something?
To be fair anyone can already call me with my phone number. Although it’s pretty anoying too.

Only one way to find out
He might not consider it a necessary feature. I mean, not even his own kids want to talk to him.

I can already make video calls from Signal, which isn’t run by neofarcists.
(That was a typo, but it’s fitting.)
This would be a good reason to delete my X account
This would be like the 18th good reason.
Do it!

I’m sure no predators will be calling people fully nude, no way thats going to happen
If they follow predators maybe they want a lil peek
