yeah, elon's not going to see the negative consequences of this personally, because he'll just use the "ban" button instead of the "block" button.
I’m betting I can reverse engineer how to create spam accounts in a mostly automated fashion faster than he can ban accounts. And I bet a lot of other people can do the same.
I feel very confident saying that he’s not gonna win this one.
