After he got boosted up to a level where anyone was only getting Elon in their feeds despite of the topic, a lot of people blocked his ass. So he is now getting rid of the block feature because everybody should be reading Elon's all bangers, all the time.
there’s no way he doesn’t retain a true block feature for himself, of course
Surely there'd be a way for him to get someone to manually unblock his account if his ego'sbeen hit that much.
Though that being said that'd require staff to do so...
Sure, but then the person blocking wouldn't necessarily know. I'm sure, for someone like him, there's a joy in letting someone know they have no ability to get rid of him.
