It's unclear if he's distinguishing posts from the users that make them.

Blocking users is important, but posts less so (but I still loved to block posts if they were obnoxious and kept getting shared)

I mean, why would you be surprised at anything at this point?

Pre Twitter takeover this would have been surprising. Now seems par for the course.

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

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I didn't know Elon joined Mastodon's marketing team!

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?

I assume he will still have the block button though.

This is so dumb it must be out of context.

Up next, everyone who joins Twitter gets a free king Cobra delivered to them at a random point in the future.

Isn't this because he doesn't want to pay Google's bill that they already signed a deal with? I hope Twitter implodes and Elon loses millions

Wait. Is twitter still a thing? 😉

Is advertising revenue so important to them they're willing to sacrifice literally everything else for it?

If it's not easy to use reddit, who will use reddit?

@elonmusk and u/Spez walk into a bar...

This is fan service for his troglodytes.

Who else would give them such opportunities?
