I can imagine the conversation.
Elon: "I own this website, and you're telling me that I'm not allowed to see this person's profile or activity because they blocked me?"
Good luck getting a massive narcissist like him to understand why every user should have that right.
He's acting exactly like your typical shitty narcissistic parasite of a parent who finds out they don't control EVERY one of your social media accounts, whether you live with them or not lol. Or when they blocked someone "on your behalf" and you didn't know about it and tried to search for them to no avail.
"Why is the engagement on my posts so low?"
"Well your Excellency, the great and powerful Musk, the users have blocked you."
"They can't do that. How else will they bask in my magnificence?"
"We tried ignoring the block and showing your posts anyway, but we had to reverse that decision unfortunately."
"I have it! Remove blocking completely for everyone!"
"You are most wise. It shall be done, your Excellency."
