Funny enough, Musk has replied to Pavel Durov’s thread with a “No deal has been signed” message, so I guess it’s still to be seen: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1927839555828220165
I like telegram, but this move... Especially since signal finally made it so I could sync my history to new devices... Signals search and media browsers are pretty weak compared to Telegram though, and you're also missing out on the unlimited free cloud data. [I probably have like 500GB of old junk stored in telegram that's sometimes really nice to go back in history and grab even though I thought it was just 100% junk. XD ] since Signal is just local history I assume I'd need to actually clear up my junk file sends from time to time which could also mean junk management time. Still I'm not a fan of xAI... Hopefully they do the same style of partnership with all the other AI providers so it doesn't feel as scummy...
