Will emails and messages become useless after 90 days? Learn why X's product head issued this warning.
X's product head, Nikita Beer, says that the number of spam messages will increase rapidly in the coming days. This will render communication channels like messages, emails, and calls useless.
Spam calls are troubling everyone. You're driving or busy with some other important task, and suddenly the phone rings. Your entire attention is drawn to the phone. When you answer the call, it's either someone trying to sell you a credit card or an automated voice. Now, Nikita Beer, product head of Elon Musk's social media platform, has issued a new warning. Beer says that the spam problem will increase rapidly, and as a result, emails, calls, and messages will become useless in the next 90 days.
Will messages and emails become useless in 90 days?
Prediction: In less than 90 days, all channels that we thought were safe from spam & automation will be so flooded that they will no longer be usable in any functional sense: iMessage, phone calls, Gmail.

And we will have no way to stop it.
In a post on X, Bear wrote that in less than 90 days, all communication channels, including email, messages, and calls, will be flooded with automated spam, rendering them unusable. This includes channels previously considered safe from spam and automation. Bear believes that not only is this a new problem coming, but we will also have no way to protect ourselves from it.
Why will this happen?
Beer's prediction might raise the question, why would this happen? Bear explained the reason. Replying to a comment on his post, Bear said that this could be due to OpenClaw. OpenClaw is an open-source platform that allows you to create on-device AI agents that can perform tasks at your command. Bear said that until now, creating AI agents required technical knowledge, but now anyone can create one. In response to Beer's post, several people have written that they've noticed an increase in spam on Gmail and other social media platforms. Beer responds that the number of spam messages isn't even 1 percent at present. This problem could become exponentially larger in the future.
