Such an incredibly stupid idea

It becomes less stupid the moment you realize Elon is angry some people are allowed not to have his bullshit forced down their throats. Then everything starts to make sense.

Nah, it's still incredibly stupid, just not from Elons viewpoint.

He doesn't realise there's another more reliable way to block him: delete twitter.

He might be the most blocked on the platform

I don't really think that makes it less stupid, you could do that in a much more subtle manner without driving away users. This is just pointless pettiness from a power dork who has been blocked a great many times in his life.
