I think a week ago or so, I saw someone posting about this on twitter, but I thought nothing of it. It may be more fake stories, I thought to myself, since now twitter is fakenews central, but I was wrong.
As it turns out, Elon thinks this is a great idea, this is exactly what twitter needs. Yes, get rid of the blocking function. You want to prevent people from finding you, looking at your posts, stalking you, etc? Well, you can go screw yourself because that's anti free speech or something of the sort.
You may be asking yourself, as am I: Who asked for this? Who said to Elon, to his advisers.
"Hey... you know... people are blocking people and it's disrupting our beautiful platform of free speech"
I can only speculate, but I can almost guarantee the answer is nobody. Nobody said to Elon this needs correcting. So, what gives?
People are blocking Elon
Ever since he bought himself the loudest bullhorn he's been feeling quite powerful playing from the top. It doesn't matter if you follow him or not, a tweet about something completely asinine made by him, might show up on your feed. Why? Because, he bought himself the theater, and it doesn't matter if you care to see the show, he's gonna give it to you.
I used to think
Elon was a smart man, centered, thoughtful, genius even. But, now I see a narcissist with all that the word entails. It's all about him, not ideals, not even business per say.
Doesn't matter if his "friends" and allies tell him, he's driving the platform to the ground, bleeding out cash like a bull in a Spanish Colosseum, he's determined to continue his tantrum, and you need to be his audience, like it or not.
