Elon Musk’s influence on social media platforms is becoming more apparent, with X (formerly Twitter) making changes to how the block feature works. While Musk has been vocal about his dislike for blocking, X is taking steps to align with his vision by adjusting the visibility of replies within a block.

The X engineering team recently announced this update, emphasizing their goal of creating a “public town square” experience. This move reflects Musk’s criticism of blocks in public forums, where he argues that blocking is illogical except for direct messages.

So what exactly has changed with the block feature on X? Previously, if someone blocked you, you could still reply to their posts without them seeing it. Now, you will be able to view direct replies from users who have blocked you. This adjustment may reduce the effectiveness of blocking as a tool to shield oneself from online negativity.

While some users may appreciate the added transparency, others might view this change as a compromise on safety measures. It’s clear that Musk is reshaping X with controversial decisions and policy changes, leading many to speculate whether the block button will eventually disappear completely.

As we wait to see how users react to this latest update, it’s evident that X is evolving under Musk’s leadership. Stay tuned for more developments and potential controversies as the platform continues to transform.
