Looks like if your ex-boyfriend, ex-girlfriend, ex-spouse or any other bullying troll wants to harass you on X (formerly known as Twitter) they will be allowed that opportunity according to X mogul Elon Musk.
American Wire News reports that Musk has plans to get rid of the “block” feature (except for DMs) – but it’s not going over well with a lot of folks including conservative actor James Woods, who has often been a target of harassment by haters.
Woods said in an X/tweet, “If Elon Musk removes the ability to block concerted harassment by trolls or organized political entities, how will ‘X’ be any different from Jack Dorsey’s horrid Twitter?”

Woods continued, “Musk, whom I once championed, is only doing this to protect his advertisers anyway. Users of X are mere pawns to turn the site into an electronic shopping mall. The man I thought was a defender of free speech is just another greedy capitalist. Disappointing, but not surprising.”
Musk replied, “Then delete your account.”
Not much of a sales person there. But then again, I contend that Musk has been no great genius in his ownership of X Twitter. In fact, I think the whole X rollout has been – and continues to be – a disaster. His only saving grace is that he owns something that the public is used to and they are generally lazy – so they’ll put up with the platform unless something much better comes along or he ticks people off enough to leave.
