Elon Musk says X users will no longer be able to block unwanted followers

Elon Musk says he plans to do away with the “block” feature on the X social media platform.

The app formerly known as Twitter will instead offer users the option of muting someone they don’t care for, though the “block” feature will still be available for those who no longer wish to receive direct messages from an unwanted users, according to the tech mogul.

“Block is going to be deleted as a ‘feature,’ except for DMs,” Musk, who acquired the site last fall for $44 billion, posted on Friday.

In a follow-up tweet, Musk opined that the “block” option “makes no sense.”
