Elon Musk Plans X Chat Launch Within Months Without Selling User Data

The statement is assessed as 'likely_true' with high confidence. The core claims are well-supported by the provided high-authority and high-relevance sources.First, the plan to launch a service called 'X Chat' is directly confirmed. A high-authority source reports a confirmation from Elon Musk about a 'future standalone app named X Chat'. This supports both the name and the nature of it being a future project.Second, the 'stated policy of not selling user data' is strongly, albeit indirectly, supported. While the exact phrase isn't quoted, multiple sources reference Elon Musk discussing the service's privacy-centric features. One source directly quotes Musk discussing 'peer-to-peer encryption,' and another references a screenshot of him discussing 'privacy features.' In the context of a messaging service, implementing end-to-end or peer-to-peer encryption is a technical enforcement of a policy not to access, and therefore not to sell, the content of user communications. Publicly emphasizing these features serves as a statement of policy intent.There is a minor ambiguity introduced by a source listing 'Introduced X Chat and encrypted DMs' as a past accomplishment. However, this source has lower relevance and can be interpreted as referring to the initial integration of encrypted direct messages within the existing X platform, which serves as a precursor to the future standalone app mentioned by the more authoritative sources.The only part of the statement not explicitly verified by the sources is the timeline 'within the next few months.' The sources confirm a 'future' launch, which is consistent with this timeline but doesn't prove it. This slight lack of specificity is the primary reason the truth probability is not higher. Irrelevant and low-authority sources were correctly disregarded as they provided no information on the topic.
