Elon Musk plans to turn off his phone number 'in a few months' here's why


Billionaire businessman Elon Musk is planning to deactivate his phone number in the coming months. The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX on Friday informed netizens that he will only use his social media platform for text and audio/video calls. The claim comes just weeks after X launched the feature for Android users.

“In a few months, I'll turn off my phone number and only use X for texts and audio/video calls,” the Tesla CEO tweeted.

Musk broke ground a few months ago by calling X a “global address book.” According to details shared on the X Help Center, premium customers have the ability to make audio and video calls, while all users will be able to receive such messages. ,

People having an account on the microblogging platform will be able to make or receive calls without any phone number.

“By default you are able to receive calls from accounts you follow or that are in your address book (if you have previously granted us access to your address book). To be able to call another user they must have sent you a direct message at least once before,” the X Help Center explains.
