Twitter has started and then stopped implementing encrypted direct messages multiple times over the years. Musk, on the other hand, has made encryption a primary goal for his Twitter 2.0 agenda. “If there’s a gun to my head, I shouldn’t be able to peek at anyone’s DMs,” he told colleagues on Monday.
He then praised Signal, an encrypted communication software run as a non-profit. He stated that he spoke with its founder, Moxie Marlinspike, who is now “possibly willing to assist out” with encrypting Twitter direct messages.
