good grief. further proof that social media platforms controlled by one corporate entity are dangerous.

Can you bet on your company losing, I think it is called shorting, while owning the company?

At this point there's no way Elon isn't doing this self-destruction purposely. There's just no other logic I can think of beyond that.

Honestly kind of surprised he didn't make bypassing blocks a paid feature.

I'm out of the loop and never tweeted (except for a bot I made once to highlight an Australian politician's lies). What is a block feature?

If you block spam SMSes or assholes and spambots on chat services, it's basically that. No matter how much the other person tries, they can no longer get through to you on that service. In most cases, it's as if they no longer exist.
