This has to be his worst decision at twitter so far.
Technology
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I reckon he's just really really fucking short-sited tbh. He seems to forget that there are people on twitter, or were tbh.
Elons probably tired of everyone blocking him. If everyone blocks him, then no one can with this new “feature” lol
Pre Twitter takeover this would have been surprising. Now seems par for the course.
I'd wager this is in response to the campaign going around to block every blue checkmark. Elon can't let his crowd of sycophants feel like they're being ignored.
I mean, why would you be surprised at anything at this point?
What could possibly go wrong?
Yeah, totally expecting that. His aim of buying twitter, is to prop up a republican presidential candidate / authoritarians in other countries that can help him evade taxes and get more subsidies.
You cannot make this f-ing UP! Twitter is indeed a dumpster fire.
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.
Well damn, the only way I use twitter is by liberally blocking everything and just getting news from stuff I care about, since there is no other platform like it that everyone uses and updates regularly. They already started pushing stuff to my feed that I don't follow, now they are removing the ability to block and keep my feed clean too? They really are doing everything in their power to make me stop using it huh
The source showed the tweet as an image, so I went into the sewer waters from Fritter. And, yep, it's genuinely there.
It's not even that I believe him unable to have such bad takes: it's not the first time. I have just seen a few fake ones. But the fake ones aren't even needed!
