Did Elon just recently look up how many people have blocked his account or something? This is such a weird loving hill to die on.

Its also probably lashing out seeing Grimes is currently getting more attention than he is at the moment.
He just HAD to stand up and go up to the screen in front of her crowd, he's jealous they weren't all giving him the attention.

The "mass blocking is kerb-stomping servers" theory is plausible, it's been discussed for months, but it would only have taken one article about him being "the user most people don't want to see" to induce a meltdown. He obviously can't bear being ignored.

I'm convinced the endpoint of Twitter will be Elon declaring he'll be shutting Twitter down cold for like 24 hours with the insistence it'll show people how much they need him Twitter X every day.

Except he won't be able to stage Twitter's backend systems properly because that takes effort from trained professionals who are long gone, so it'll just stay dead for good.

The second best kind of Elonposting is when his freeze peach egalitarian mask slips off only to reveal his desire to turn the digital commons into a digital apartheid state. I'm blocking all the people that are complaining about taking blocks away, overtly implying that I'm keeping the feature for myself. Blocks for me, but not for thee. Sucks to suck, poors.

The best kind of Elonposting is when he's high on ketamine and can only communicate through terrible poetry, meaningless aphorisms, and the cry laugh emoji.

does elon really think removing blocks is good?

i’m trying to think of the argument here but all i can come up with is some “if you never talk to each other you’ll never come to an agreement “ but obviously that’s falls apart when the 2 sides are “i’d like to use a public restroom” and “you should be killed for grooming children”

No he floated this idea a month or two after he acquired Twitter. When talking about it he complained about how many computing resources the block feature was using. It’s likely a cost cutting effort just like deleting everything before 2014 is.

His chud friends are really mad about being blocked, so Elon decided if he removed blocks then they would be happy. He didn't understand what they actually wanted was to make it impossible to block them (ie make blue checks unblockable), not for block to remove entirely, which is why he's very mad about the backlash

One of the things that's been pointed out is that Twitter has long been in stasis in regards to growth. It's a thing that mostly millenials/ older gen z and back use.

Most younger people are using different platforms, and communicate differently.

That is to say: anyone that wanted a Twitter has one. Others are utilizing those myriad other ways to communicate, instead.

This is honestly the funniest thing with every social media site/community platform. The owner(s) need eternal growth but younger people just don't want to be on the platform for Old People and the company fails to get it and flails around trying to figure out how to appeal.

Then the cycle repeats and a new batch of CEOs make the same mistake.

For Elon: good = other people suffering

It’s where he gets his enjoyment from.
