Ayyyy Elon, so we're going for full chaos??
Lemme grab my popcorn before the change starts a nuclear reaction.
Surely a sight to behold. Lol
This can't be serious...
It keeps getting worse it's almost funny
That sounds like the most stupid shit ever. I'm usually not the person that blocks a lot. I believe in 5 years of twitter i maybe blocked 3 accounts plus a couple of spam bots. But still...like...why would you think that this is a good idea?
Is this meant to be the final response to #BlocktheBlue
I only see this as going well for him/Twitter.
Not really, it’s definitely going to be interesting to watch it go up in flames 🍿
Wow. He really is a tool.
This kind of garbage is exactly why I don't use Twitter anymore. I don't know what is wrong with Musk, but something is up in his head.
Elons probably tired of everyone blocking him. If everyone blocks him, then no one can with this new “feature” lol
When toxic idiots on Twitter drive everyone off, they'll be the only ones left.
Then they'll turn on each other, harassing bots and trolls who'll scream that nothing's being done because they are being dragged.
Then when only the most toxic are left, and they have no one else to intimidate, harass, or make miserable; they'll leave.
How in the world is that a good idea...
One step away from A Clockwork Orange where users' eyes will be held open so they are forced to see fashy-curious content
LOL, WHAT?! That's absolutely stupid.
You could see this coming the moment we started blocking blue checkmarks.
Serious question: is musk actively trying to run twitter into the ground for some kind of financial benefit, or is he just an arrogant asinine asshole who has no idea what he's doing?
My tinfoil hat theory is this: Musk has ties with dictators who would really, really like to see Twitter die as it’s been used in the past to organize resistance and broadcast embarrassing information. Musk is used to do the dirty job of running it into the ground. He may or he may not be actually aware of this, as your characterization of Musk is on point. Just speculation of course.
