He's been unblocking himself over the years, and this feels like the next logical step for him.
I think its simple... a lot of people have blocked Elon, so Elon thinks blocking is bad.
The guy has been forcing his accounts and shit takes onto everyone's timelines.
Accounts have mysteriously started following his account when they never manually did it.
Muting his account hasn't properly worked since he bought twitter.
It's literally what he's been doing it since day 1 of purchase.
Sorry if that sounds a bit rude, but I'm just baffled by people literally denying reality when it smacks them in the face repeatedly.
If you blocked Elon's account, you'll still see it on your timeline.
Not that many important people block Elon, but even if they did, Elon could just ask the team to adjust his client / account accordingly especially if it doesn't give him any special (non-public) rights
He’s missing the ability to think about his own self in context of others. So he thinks that if he’s blocked, that’s a real problem facing everyone, so it must be fixed in the name of free speech.
I do like tech platforms where the decisionmakers and stakeholders actually know and use the product. Elon candidly streaming Diablo, even for some long sessions, once a while on X is a great thing to see and I hope it is putting pressure on the team to improve streaming there even more, given the latency and layout are still a bit behind the bigger players on that even though improvements like the stream chat have been added.
