TL;dr of the article :
- They keep your private key on their servers.
- Their implementation allows for AITM attacks.
- It's closed source.
- There's no perfect forward secrecy.
This secret stays between you, me, and Elon.
I hope politicians use the hell out of it, so we can see what they really think when it gets (inevitably) hacked in a few weeks.
What is the "A" in "AITM"?
This is the first time I heard of AITM, thought it was a new name for MITM:

It’s just MITM but with extra steps
Ah yes, Malcolm in the Middle is behind this all along.

offering me end-to-end encrypted chat
No one - not even X - can access or read your messages
This key is then stored on X’s servers
So...they're just blatantly lying?
It's encrypted with a 4 digit pin so they'll have to spend at least 316.8809e-10 years on brute-forcing it.
That's why my PIN is 5 digits: 12345
One. Two. Three. Four. Five?
That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.

...yet? How bout just not trusting it at all?
Hah, beat me by 17 seconds!
That "yet" is the narrative hook to trick us into feeling like it will soon be trustworthy, and that our assumed suspicions refer to a temporary state of untrustworthiness. Clever girls!

How about: "You probably should trust or use X at all... ever."
Hey y'all. Reminder not to trust a platform owned and operated by a Nazi manchild.
Yet? What kind of idiot would imagine that X would or could provide actual secure communication?
Shouldn't trust it yet.
Or ever.
Brain damaged people trust x again.
YET?
XChat, has some red flags.
With a white circle and a swastika inside?
Our good friend Elon cannot be trusted? I don't believe you, this must be propaganda to discredit his good manners.
Quick everyone, install this just so that if Pete Hegseth invites people to the next airstrikes chat group, your satirical JD Vance account will be next to the real JD Vance's account and he'll probably add you both and figure it out later.
If you trust ANYTHING Musk has for you well then have I got a bridge to sell you.
probably??? try definitely and ever
Never trust any social media sites "private" chat.
Especially not one of the big ones run by weirdo fascists. You know Elmo is going to snoop on anyone relatively famous, or that just say something he doesn't like.
In all honesty, there's zero reason to even have accounts on them

I don't trust anything coming out of Elon's fascisthole. Deleted the app when he bought it and never looked back.

Yet? More like never.
"xchat" sounds like one of those porn chat rooms
I wouldnt trust X with a picture of my shoes
Or ever.
Or ever
"The guy who helped install Donald Trump, did a Nazi Salute at Trump's victory parade on live TV, supports authoritarians, and who has declared war on transgender people to the point you're not allowed to say "Cis" or "Cisgender" on his platform, has created an end to end encrypted chat."
All of this has the same vibes as the time Brigham Young University amended their code of conduct to allow people to come out as queer, let some students come out, and then changed the CoC back and expelled the students.
It’s like a regular encrypted chat but with peepholes and racism.
~~shouldn't trust it yet~~ shouldn't trust it ever
