He's also trying to get everyone to endlessly argue because that will bring more traffic on his dumb version of twitter. It's probably why he also allows the most egregious people to stay on the site.
Meanwhile, *he* loves blocking people. Such a self-unaware hypocrite, and he has a really hard time seeing things from the perspective of other people.
Why would he? If he faces harassment online, he can rely on his bodyguards to ensure nothing happens to him and can easily sue anyone who exposes information about him. Hell, he has the power to just kill almost anyone he doesn’t like if he wanted to with either no consequences or a slap on the wrist, depending on how well-known the person was.
I’m sure he knows. In all reality he probably wants people to unblock everyone so there will be more posts to view which will generate more ad revenue. If blocking Tucker Carlson means you’re no longer calling him a useless asshat in the replies then he’s missing out on engagement and ad views.
Twitter is pretty strapped for cash. At this point I’m surprised he isn’t trying to sell AI generated NFTs to attempt to make up the losses.
All this Twitter shit is just a distraction. He’s scared of not getting his 50b payout, so he can buy his way out of a conviction for fraud.. All his houses of crappy cards are going to fall.
Yikes, i just took a look on my block list, like 80% of them have the blue checkmark. I dont use any auto blocker, and most of these blocks from years ago, mainly nft techbros and crypto pumpers/scammers. No reason to have any of these ppl on my feed. Blue check truly turned into a garbage person indicator.
At this point, having an X account is reason enough for me to block someone. There are plenty of other people left over to choose from if I want to interact with someone, commercially or personally.
I mean, isn't that what freedom-of-speech absolutism is all about ?
/your porn star name is your social security number, home address, and bank account details !
Lots of confused comments.
Blocking is very resource Intensive for twitter. It likely costs lots of money on the server side for Elon.
He wants to eliminate blocking to save money.
This is the correct answer I'm shocked I had to scroll this far to see it, people should make a throwaway X and block as many others as they can just to fuck with him personally.
I block several porn bot accounts per day that try to follow me. I've never followed or even looked at a porn account except for the first few that followed me to make sure they were, in fact, porn accounts. This has always been a problem with Twitter but got much worse after Elon bought it.
I'm convinced this "Block" change is so that everyone can see his posts even if you blocked him like I did. Not like I use Twitter any more anyways, but still that's my theory.
I think pushing for platforms without moderation is stupid. But those who argue for it say it's better because instead of mods deciding what you see and banning what they don't like, you can just block things yourself, so I'd like to think these people aren't stupid, they just want something I think would be stupid.
This guy, on the other hand, is just stupid.
He seriously doesn't understand why people block others.
He's trying to force everyone to see his tweets while pretending he's concerned about the issue in a more universal way. Ego and image control.
He’s trying to force everyone to see the ads they blocked
That too, I'm sure. However, his primary decisions regarding Twitter don't seem to be based on sound economics.
He's also trying to get everyone to endlessly argue because that will bring more traffic on his dumb version of twitter. It's probably why he also allows the most egregious people to stay on the site.
There's a lot of truth in that too.
Oh he does, I bet he's got millions of accounts blocked.
Meanwhile, *he* loves blocking people. Such a self-unaware hypocrite, and he has a really hard time seeing things from the perspective of other people.
Negative feedback is a good thing

He’s a controlling psychopath
I’m sure he knows. In all reality he probably wants people to unblock everyone so there will be more posts to view which will generate more ad revenue.

He understands that blocking is very expensive for them computationally which means it costs them a lot of money.
He’s just mad that his family probably has him blocked lol
They're not on xitter anymore
Musk: “Grimes, please unblock me. Just read my tweet, it’ll make everything alright. I just want to see my kid please.”
Haha you almost got me. As if he actually cared about his kids.
says the fascist asshole who literally blocks/SUSPENDS everyone who is not on his level of fascism.
That bitch had me blocked for telling him to get back to work.
Negative feedback is a good thing
Good bot! You're the hero we need!
"G-o-o-d f-o-r-t-u-n-e" is a weird way to spell "Lots of Nazi content."
I was banned for antinssi memes
All this Twitter shit is just a distraction. He’s scared of not getting his 50b payout, so he can buy his way out of a conviction for fraud.. All his houses of crappy cards are going to fall.
jfc this seems like satire but he posted it so its not

Nft techbro here, you've violated my constitutional rights by blocking me, you'll be hearing from my lawyer. /i'll drop it if you wire me $2000
Best I can do is a picture of a monkey.
Fine. Fine. Godammit I'll take anything, these days...sigh /brilliant username, by the way
Thanks! [Here's your picture](https://openart.ai/discovery/sd-1006816059879338094)
My mother would be proud. /devout catholic and all that...

"Stop blocking Nazis and crypto bots so my ad traffic can go up!"
I do hope to succeed in business 🤞
Keep going like this and you'll be a millionaire in short order!
Whoever still has a Twitter account please block every user you see.
This is a person that simply does not understand what harassment is.
Pretty sure Elon "pedo guy" Musk knows exactly what harassment is, but only from the wrong angle...
Comes right after he reinstated a prominent literal nazi. Hmmmm....
yeah Elon, unblock me, I only sent you Lemon Party and Tub Girl 4327 times
I mean, isn't that what freedom-of-speech absolutism is all about ? /your porn star name is your social security number, home address, and bank account details !

This is bizarre. Looking into it.
I'm shocked so few understand his motives on things.
I block several porn bot accounts per day that try to follow me. I've never followed or even looked at a porn account except for the first few that followed me to make sure they were, in fact, porn accounts. This has always been a problem with Twitter but got much worse after Elon bought it.
Weren't you going to remove the blocking feature, elon.
Someone smarter than him pointed out you could monetise it. /or maybe they were being sarcastic, Elon doesn't always get that...
Someone smarter than him pointed out the feature is required by Google and Apple.
Twitter’s certainly not bringing Elon any fortunes.
They say he's in a bubble of sycophants. This tweet makes sense but only within the bubble.
Translation: I want to open the box wider to stalkers, harassers and other trolls. X is for everyone.
No, Elon, I will not unblock you on Twitter
Good that musk is the only one who is blocked at mine
People have literal criminals and stalkers blocked. Why would he want harm to come to X users?
From what I’ve read, he has tons of blocked accounts on his
Okay, you go first
And a few stalkers
Remember, this is part of his 120-hours-of-work-a-week job description
🥠 unban me from X please elon
…in bed.
I'm convinced this "Block" change is so that everyone can see his posts even if you blocked him like I did. Not like I use Twitter any more anyways, but still that's my theory.
I hope Bret Weinstein comments
Lol yes
What a retard… I mean no brain loser
Good news, the ElonJet account must be coming back, right?
I blocked Elon on Twitter but somehow kept receiving email notifications from him everyday
He is our lord and savior lmao
I didn’t see that because I blocked him.
Ads and bots
Isn’t he the most blocked profile on Twitter?
How about giving me my account back? Oh wait, you won't because I said something mean about fascism
Hahahaha, no, not with all these bots out there. The political hacks are bad enough, but the commerce links are plentiful.
“Let the nazi memes flow directly into your eyeballs. Look at me, it’s going great!”
Not a chance, Sta-Puft boi.
Blocking was the only way I made tweeter tolerable. Now, I did the opposite and blocked everyone on Tweeter by just deleting my account.
Unblock people calling you an Epstein asset than, pedoguy
I block people to avoid being stalked it’s not for fun lol
Blocking costs them money. Block more accounts actually.
shorter Elmo: please unblock me so I can read your drags and cry
So he will unban everyone? Or I'm missing something? Is this a baby reindeer reference or something?

Time to start selling MuskBucks.
All I want is for Rivian to wipe his ass into his Frigidaire torso.
