Isn&#39;t that what blocking is for? Because there are people who aren&#39;t considerate or don&#39;t behave? Is the implication then, that if there was not a feature to block, then one would be required to moderate one&#39;s behavior, whereas with blocking you wouldn&#39;t be? Social media has people you don&#39;t like on it, and you don&#39;t have the right to dictate what they say.

Well, Musk&#39;s creditors are now effectively his investors too and if they call in his loans, they will probably end up having to write off the debt.
