Elon Musk plays to win.  he is definitely not going to let Mark Zuckerberg’s rebranding a Facebook to Beta stand as the most idiotic tone deaf decision in history .  If anyone is going to be the text book case study of big wallet, big ego, a nasty attitude and no judgement, it was going to be Elon musk.

I've been on Twitter since Sept. 2009.  My red line is losing the ability to block assholes. By "assholes" I mean accounts that post kiddie porn or Nazi propaganda or Qanon content that Musk not only reinstated, but kicks advertising revenue to. It could happen as soon as tomorrow.  When it does, I'll never look back.

I doubt that he will actually remove this feature. Why? Because both Google Play and The App Store require social media apps like Twitter allow users to block other users. If they remove the Twitter app, that knocks out 99.25% of the mobile market. 

I remember that last year, he said he’d make his own phone (presumably with its own OS, because using iOS or Android would defeat the whole purpose) if it reached that point. And if he has to make that step, there’s no way it’s going to be financially viable, richest man on Earth or no. Especially if his horseshit runs Twitter even further into the ground than he already has.
