Have you not paid attention to twitter since he bought it?

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.



I'm sorry you're frustrated, but it has nothing to do with this change, which works in the opposite direction.


No it doesn't.

If you blocked Elon's account, you'll still see it on your timeline.


The change is to let people who you've blocked (Elon) to see your posts, rather than their posts. Otherwise, blocking would be useless.


I don't particularly care to argue about whether or not that's true, I'm just pointing out that it's not the change being discussed here, which works in the opposite direction.


Muting his account has worked for me.
