Is Elon Musk Is Going To Get Rid Of Twitter’s Block Function?
Elon Musk is clearly broken. I say that because of this Tweet that he posted. For context,
on Wednesday in reply to someone on Twitter complaining about being blocked, Elon said this:
Now Elon Musk spitballing stuff in public has to be taken seriously as his random ideas often end up becoming reality. Or at least some form of reality as they have a tendency to go off the rails. Twitter Blue being the best example of that. In any case, I have to wonder if he’s thinking of doing this because of the “block the blue” campaign that was on Twitter recently. You can click here and here to get caught up on that, and he’s using some other excuse as air cover. That campaign likely lowered the value of Twitter Blue which hurts Elon’s bank account. Besides that, the block function is an anti-harassment tool to help people avoid having stalkers, abusers, harassers, and the like being able to follow your every word without at least some level of friction. So I don’t know what Elon is up to, but it’s clear he’s up to something.
I guess we’ll find out shortly what the deal is.
