I imagine the solution, for his child at least, would be something like moving to a different platform and if the deadbeat follows, block him. Also, why would he need to change the block system to see her posts? As far as I’m aware, unless posts are made private, anyone can go to your account by creating another account if you’ve blocked them.
Yeah, but that requires him to go through effort to make a new account.
It’s easier for him to tell someone else to strip features and make the platform worse than it already is
Isn’t it already commonly believed he uses multiple accounts?
I think it’s well past belief at this point, pretty sure he even admitted a couple.
Imagine being the world’s richest deadbeat father.
The best possible outcome here is that it drives more people off the platform. Frankly, I’m annoyed that so many people still use twitter. I’m in favor of anything that makes it less user-friendly.
I’ve heard bluesky servers are having issues because of this. Cool people are leaving, but kinda sad the platform they are trying to move to isn’t prepared for that and it doesn’t seem mastodon was getting a similar influx last I checked
So I have a really really dumb question:
As the owner of Twitter, who probably has access to the database directly, couldn’t he just get a database dump of his kids tweets?
Or have a developer, oh I’m sorry, chatGPT develop an app just for him to be able to view all tweets?
This seems like firing a nuke for something akin to a knife wound.
He wouldn’t even need to do that. He could literally just make a third account (assuming his daughter is blocking the one where Elon pretends to be an actual child) and see all the posts he wants. This is truly Elon solving a problem only Elon has, by nuking a feature tons of folks use.
You can just make a new account… it’s not like blocking someone stopped them from ever viewing your tweets again. Blocking was always just to stop viewing their tweets.
He probably could. But he’ll spin this into ‘make speech free again’™ or some hulkshit

As much as I can believe he would totally do this, he would not admit to this.
But it comes from a satire site.
Update: So someone else mentioned this, and looks like changes are coming but the satire part was why Elon was doing it.

Is the mute feature still there? Because if it isn’t we have a mass exodus on our hand. So many bad faith trolls on twitter since you can earn from engagement.
