Can we just pretend that Twitter no longer exists?

All that Elon Musk still tries here is how far he has to go until Twitter finally collapses.

Literally every single day we have idiots doing Musk's PR work for free.

Downvote Musk spam. The billionaire doesn't need your help making sure his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle.

What in the actual fuck does he think is going to happen

So... Wait.

This means someone can just @ someone else and destroy their feed with hate or dick pics or whatever?!

"it makes no sense" literally every social media site in existence has the block feature, and the reason is to help people prevent harassment. Elon is like a fucking toddler, it's obvious he just wants to get rid of blocking because he's pissy about being blocked by other people.

The block "feature" is a required tool for being listed on the Google and Apple stores, among others.

Removing it will get Twitter delisted from them as well.

Just stop using Twitter. It's easy.

I mean it's literally in the terms and conditions of both the App Store and Play Store for social media to have a block button lol

This is incredibly consistent with the "free speech" crowd thinking free speech entitles you to an audience.

Unreal. It's not even incompetence, he really is just tanking the site on purpose.

The block feature is not there out of the goodness of their CEO's heart.

It is there to limit liability from harassment. After all, why police harassment laws at your expense. When you can get the end user to enforce it for you.

It's just Dumb evil.

This is so dumb, what is he thinking? What's the angle?

Dumbness aside, Twitter is only usable if you block all of the blue check spammers who add nothing to any discussion.

Maybe he's doing it so you can't block blue checks? But it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Lmao this is going to be incredible to watch unfold. I am assuming Elon himself has blocked an absolute fuckton of accounts that are just out to troll him, so either he’s gonna (rightly) get absolutely inundated by trolls, or he’s gonna make the devs disable it for everyone except him and whoever else he wants to give that feature to.

Yup. X makes no sense. Please delete it.

I cant wait for Twitter/X to cease to exist.

“Mr. Billionaire Tech Company CEO, what was your detailed reasoning for the removal of a highly important feature that benefits way more users than the ones it harms?”

“It makes no sense”

Hasn't Elon blocked people before tho? And even been public when blocking some people?

Huh, I have never been a fan of blocking people, but this is a very dumb move, normal Twitter news of course.

Just when you think he's run out of stupid decisions to make, he does it again.

He'll make it a premium feature

I recommend just blocking the entirely of Xwitter. Your life will be better off.

He is actually, seriously saying "I don't get it, so it must be bad/unnecessary"

Is this man actually retarded or is he trolling us? Seems like he's intentionally shitting on Twitter

He is really attempting to run it into the ground isn't he?
