I thought he was relying to his own Tweet

ITT: "Blocking isn't a necessary feature, specifically because I do not get harassed." Also: "Because you COULD just make an alt, take the time to make a fake email, and even potentially be required to have a fake ID in the future, muting and blocking are LITERALLY the same thing"

Any disincentive is one more step some spineless bastard has to go through to harass you, even if there are work arounds.

I'm kind of tired of hearing about what this dummy is up to. He's very rich. But clearly very dumb. He took emerald mine money and lucked his way into some good investments. Bought his way into Tesla and pretends to be very smart.

Thats not to say every idea he has had is bad. But he is clearly not a smart man overall.

This is not a good idea. If you are a troll, you must love this a lot.

The only reason I regret deleting my twitter account is because now I can’t tell Elon how fucking idiotic these decisions are.

I really hope they don't go back on this because it's really going to damage their bottom line and I have popcorn to eat

How else would a child of apartheid Africa get the apartheid message out to the world in 2023? Of course you have to disable the block feature.
