My totally unspported hypothesis is that many, many people have blocked Elon -- I have -- and he knows that and hates it.
We know that Elon once demanded, on superbowl Sunday, "demanded that his engineers find out why" a tweet of his was underperforming relative to a tweet from Biden, and then had the algorithm modified to boost his content [0]. Would unblocking the (presumably) most blocked person on twitter be such a leap?

- nerdix 2y agoHe may not care about the average Twitter user who blocks him. But there are likely many influential people who have blocked him (but may also be tweeting about him) and he may want to see their posts. He may also want the ability to reply to things they tweet without being accused of giving himself special access.
