He was probably the most blocked user on Twitter
On case anyone is unfamiliar with the situation, this is likely not a joke. He probably is the most blocked user on Twitter.
Is this man actually retarded or is he trolling us? Seems like he’s intentionally shitting on Twitter
“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”
“People block me and I can’t have that.”
Hes a billionaire and owns the company. I dont think he has to take permission from anyone.
Nor does people have to have permission to be outraged by his actions.
What is your point?
Yes, he doesn’t need to take the permission from anyone, including the user base of his platform, on which his business depends, and which is declining as a result of his decisions.
“I’m tired of people blocking me”
Wait did I say that or just think that?

I am so glad I ditched twitter when Musk took over. Blocking abusive people is a critical function on that cesspool of a social medium.
Same.
Don’t most app stores have terms and conditions that require social media websites to have actual functional block features? Having them only work for DMs doesn’t feel very functional…
Yup. Let’s see how he’ll backtrack when they force him to comply.
There were some posts lately about this and yes both play store and app store have this specified in tos
Unreal. It’s not even incompetence, he really is just tanking the site on purpose.
No he’s not.
He’s a right wing grifter and always has been. And like many on the right, he views harassment as a form of “free speech” which should be acceptable.
He’s not tanking the site on purpose. He’s tanking it because his bullshit ideology naturally results in creating a hostile environment that people don’t want to be a part of.
“Most blocked person on Twitter thinks blocking people is bad”
I blocked elon musk long time ago…
I havnt logged into twitter since he bought it though. Cant remember if i dleeted my user
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.
That’d be nice if it actually applied, but Apple has already made exceptions for X among other large companies to allow them to play by different rules in the store. So I’m not holding my breath for any sort of punishment.
Examples:
- X got a one letter App Store name that was previously against the rules (other devs need their app name to be at least 2 characters) (more info)
- YouTube had been blocking iOS PiP background playback (not sure if they still do) and put that feature behind the YouTube Premium subscription. Background playback and PiP is part of iOS’s system capabilities and the rule specifically says it’s not allowed. See Apple’s guidelines section 3.2.2 (ii) here. With this, one could make the argument that PiP would only support system supported video decoding, and YouTube uses DASH for higher resolution videos, but YouTube does offer video and audio streams that are natively supported by Apple as well so I don’t hold much support for this argument.
He is really attempting to run it into the ground isn’t he?
He blocked himself people and now he is pretending that’s its a non sens…

“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.
