Hi - Love your newsletter!

I don't know where I read this, so need to double check if it is factual, but what I read was that, the reason X is removing the block function is because Elon Musk had a tweet about some big events (may be superbowl ), and at the same time president Biden also had a similar tweet. Despite of having far more followers, Elon Musk's tweet was getting way less exposure and engagement than President Biden's. And he was not happy about that, even left the event early and called in engineers at Sunday night to see why his tweet was "under performing". And the engineers had to change the algorithm for his tweet to appear at people's feed regardless if they follow him or not...and that leads to showing content to people who you have previous blocked.

Again I don't remember exactly where I read this but I do remember being shocked and disgusted by this. And someone made a comment on this saying "no wonder he and Trump get along".
