Nah, bullshit. This is 100% Musk's fragile ego getting upset that people blocked him. He wants to be able to force his and his evil friends' opinions into the faces of people who don't want to see it.
Please read again what he changed and then try to figure out why your rationale is clearly not what this is about.
That's the opposite of what's happening. In this case, Musk would have blocked you, and you would want to see his posts (for some reason). You could normally see a user who's blocked your posts by just opening the thread in an incognito tab to view as a logged out user. This just cuts out that step and lets you see the user's posts without doing that.
