Let's be real, he's doing this because he's upset about people blocking Twitter blue accounts, this in no way increases server costs or any bull shit like that
Elon, for all of his smarts, seems to not understand the game theory behind social networks. I get it, we have had the status quo for over a decade, but the fundamental rules are still the same.
Frankly I'm happy to see them falling apart and a return to how social was meant to be on the internet.
That doesn't make sense. Social media rules aren't written in stone.
All forms of communication/media/technology evolve over time. Going backwards is regressive.

I reckon he's just really really fucking short-sited tbh. He seems to forget that there are people on twitter, or were tbh.

I just don't understand some of these decisions...
Maybe he found out how many people blocked him.
100% this. He can't take rejection. You will love him, even if he has to force you.
So how will they comply with court orders requiring that function? /smh
Elons probably tired of everyone blocking him. If everyone blocks him, then no one can with this new “feature” lol
...what the fuck???
Awww Musky’s feelings got hurt that so many people have blocked him on twitter lol
He's the only person I've blocked. I went on the other day and saw a tweet was hidden, clicked to view it, and when I saw it was him, I immediately closed the tab. Twitter is really good at providing me content that makes me want to leave 😆
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 smile every time when I see that Musky did some more stupid shit, because I know that every time he does shit like that, Mastodon grows more. And with that, the entire Fediverse gets stronger.
Go on Elon! Don't Stop please! Kill Twitter!
