Elon Musk Says X Will Delete Account Blocking Feature
Billionaire and Tesla chief executive officer Elon Musk dropped yet another update surrounding restricting user activity on X platform (formerly called as Twitter).

So far, the platform implemented many changes including rebranding, new account verification and ad policy. He also dropped a hint on making the X user interface much more “beautiful.”

In a latest development, the Tesla CEO said X would do away with the “Block” feature, stating that it does not mean any sense. Interestingly, Musk revealed this idea in response to a tweet about muting versus blocking, and not as a direct announcement. Also, the billionaire has emphasized on the ability to mute someone’s posts as a substitute to blocking of accounts.
What If X Deletes Block Feature
It is being speculated that the move to do away with the blocking feature could be intended to curtail the blocking of ads. One of the changes Musk brought in was the introduction of ads in between tweet replies. Also, the platform would continue to allow the block feature for DMs (direct messages).

Meanwhile, the Tesla Owners Silicon Valley, a popular X account, differed with Musk’s views on deleting the feature. The account argued that the platform continues to suffer with the menace of trolls and spammers, who many account holders may wish to block. Elon Musk plans to transform X into the everything app for finance, which means the app would support stock market participants.
