Its all part of the plan. EM does one outrageous thing each day to constantly stay in the news cycle. The ego must be fed.
Oscar Wilde described this mentality in The Picture of Dorian Gray
“There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.”
Yeah, who is this guy again? And why does he always look like he’s about to sneeze?

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Is it the ego feeding or keeping Twitter (“X”) front of mind? Kind of like 2010 lady gaga constantly one upping herself to stay in the news (meat dress anyone?)
I can imagine the conversation.
Elon: “I own this website, and you’re telling me that I’m not allowed to see this person’s profile or activity because they blocked me?”
Good luck getting a massive narcissist like him to understand why every user should have that right.
He’s acting exactly like your typical shitty narcissistic parasite of a parent who finds out they don’t control EVERY one of your social media accounts, whether you live with them or not lol. Or when they blocked someone “on your behalf” and you didn’t know about it and tried to search for them to no avail.
“Why is the engagement on my posts so low?”
“Well your Excellency, the great and powerful Musk, the users have blocked you.”
“They can’t do that. How else will they bask in my magnificence?”
“We tried ignoring the block and showing your posts anyway, but we had to reverse that decision unfortunately.”
“I have it! Remove blocking completely for everyone!”
“You are most wise. It shall be done, your Excellency.”
Just get off it people. Easy to solve.
Back when I had a Twitter account I had blocked this motherfucker because of his narcissistic shenanigans. Needless to say, I wasn’t on Xitter even for full 24 hours after he bought it. Deleted the account along with all the tweets.
Fuck this Apartheid Xitler.
You can block him but somehow he’ll mysteriously get unblocked and start appearing in your feed again.
The only reliable method seems to be muting him.
The only reliable method is deleting your account and not give him your time.
I’ve almost entirely moved to Mastodon. I only ever check Twitter occasionally for the few accounts I still have interest in following.
How do you delete? I was checking yesterday and only saw deactivate or some shit
Before someone says “but you can mute those toxic asshole”. Muting them means they will continue to see your posts and will still berate you, other people will reply quoting you and you will not only continue to see the toxic content, but you will become a target to more and more assholes with nothing better to do in life
