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?

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.
I can’t wait for other social media platforms to do the same thing. Social media companies are so stagnant they just copy what other companies do without thinking if it’s a good idea or not.

It keeps getting worse it's almost funny
So how will they comply with court orders requiring that function? /smh
I have him blocked. I can't stand seeing his posts!
Are you kidding? Being able to block people who are harraing you is the ONLY thing that keeps social media civil. What the actual fuck.
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.
Anyone still on Twitter (who doesn’t absolutely need to be on Twitter for their job) must either enjoy harassing others or somehow enjoy being harassed?
I have no clue why anyone who isn’t a right-wing dingbat would use Twitter for fun or whatever. It’s so not fun to be on a platform run by a little manbaby, for a little manbaby.

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 🍿
LOL that is probably because I've been blocking Elon's profile for a while now. I'm pretty sure this has to do with his profile being blocked by more and more people.
Is this meant to be the final response to #BlocktheBlue
You could see this coming the moment we started blocking blue checkmarks.
I just don't understand some of these decisions...
