Avast ye scallywags! Elon Musk be raisin' his voice once again 'gainst the dreaded block feature on X's, formerly known as Twitter's, ship. "Block be walkin' the plank, me hearties!" Musk cried out in an X missive. Only DMs be safe from the plank, he added. Aye, it be a senseless matter, says he. This ain't the first time Musk be voicin' his distaste for blockin'. Back in June, he shouted at Twitter to abandon it, seekin' a mightier alternative...
In a hilarious twist of events, Elon Musk, with the tongue of a 17th-century pirate, has once again voiced his disdain for Twitter's block feature, or as he calls it, "the plank." In a recent X post, which used to be Twitter, Musk boldly declared that the plank is on the chopping block and will be deleted as a feature, except for direct messages, or as he put it, "parroted messages."This is not the first time Musk has shared his grievances about the plank. Just a few months ago, he argued that Twitter should get rid of it altogether in favor of a much more formidable solution, something akin to a "cannonball barrage" to ward off unwanted interactions.
While Musk's disdain for the plank is well-known, his reasons for wanting it gone are still a mystery. Perhaps he believes that pirates shouldn't be able to walk the plank, but should instead engage in a friendly parlay with their adversaries.
Regardless of his motivations, Musk's announcement has left many scratching their heads. Some may argue that removing the plank could open the floodgates to a deluge of unwanted tweets and plundering, while others may view it as a step towards a more inclusive and pirate-friendly social media experience.
Only time will tell whether Musk's campaign against the plank will succeed. Until then, we can only hope that Twitter, or rather X, will find a way to navigate these treacherous waters and keep the pirates at bay.
