Pretty soon, you won't be able to block people on X (formerly Twitter). At least according to Elon Musk.

In a tweet exchange, Musk said that, “Block is going to be deleted as a ‘feature', except for DMs.”

He followed that up with “It makes no sense,” speaking about the block feature.

Musk then clarified that you can still mute and block accounts from DMs. Your feed is a different story.

The removal of the block feature is another head-scratcher from Musk. It was the easiest way to eliminate any harassment from Twitter feeds. Muting will take users off of your feed, but they can still reply to tweets (or posts).

Elon Musk purchased Twitter on October 22, 2022. He bought the social media platform for a whopping $44 billion. He is most known for his work with Tesla and SpaceX, and he is currently the richest man in the world.

Over the past year, a lot of changes have come to the social media platform. He did appoint Linda Yaccarino, former NBCUniversal executive, as the new CEO of Twitter earlier this summer. Earlier this summer, Twitter became X in one of the most puzzling rebrands in recent memory.

This summer, Musk has also ignited a rivalry with Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Meta and Facebook. The two billionaires teased a UFC-style cage fight. Whether or not it happens remains to be seen.

The reason for Musk discarding of the block feature is unknown. Perhaps someone tipped him off to how many users had him blocked (including myself).
