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?
Yes
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.
Pre Twitter takeover this would have been surprising. Now seems par for the course.
@elonmusk and u/Spez walk into a bar...
I reckon he's just really really fucking short-sited tbh. He seems to forget that there are people on twitter, or were tbh.
This level of nob gobbling takes focus.
RIP Twitter
WTF is “a stronger form of mute?”
It probably means you can’t prevent someone with Twitter Blue to show up in your timeline.
E-gun
Least destructive Elon moment
So…. You just get hit with ad bots all day long?
I've blocked every ad I've ever seen on the app. I haven't used it in a while and I doubt I'll ever go back now.
The only thing left that I use it for is getting alerts about live police chases so I can tune in. Ill leave that going until those people move to other platforms.
Wouldn't this open Twitter up to harassment charges? I mean, it's Musk so it is obviously an ego thing and not a well thought out idea, but couldn't someone sue because they can no longer block someone tweeting hateful things to them?
Up next, everyone who joins Twitter gets a free king Cobra delivered to them at a random point in the future.
He's not a smart man, but he knows what love is
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
