Looking through the history looks a bit suspicious. Even if the questionable bids were removed, it’s still likely to be 100k+ for the username!

Edit: Closer to $15k right now lol.

Even if I had enough money to buy this email, I wouldn't. Too many people would try to hack, steal, or buy the account from me. It would be a cool email tho.

Nah, just think of the spam you'd need to wade through.

With that money ($100 million) you could get a custom TLD, so you could own x@x.x

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I don't think .x is tld. But EM owns x.com, so he could (and may well already have) x@x.com. But I think paying for a name is silly.

With just $185k the ICANN accepts registrations of custom TLDs

Weird that Elon didn't apply for that since he had 44 billion to burn
