Elon Musk blocks actor James Woods after Twitter argument

nme.com:

Elon Musk has blocked actor James Woods on X/Twitter after the pair had an argument on the site.Woods hit out at Musk for his recent decision to remove the block function from the site, saying that if the decision “removes the ability to block concerted harassment by trolls or organised political entities, how will ‘X’ be any different from Jack Dorsey’s horrid Twitter”?He added: “Musk, whom I once championed, is only doing this to protect his advertisers anyway.

Users of X are mere pawns to turn the site into an electronic shopping mall.“The man I thought was a defender of free speech is just another greedy capitalist.

Disappointing, but not surprising.”Then, Woods shared a screenshot revealing that he had been blocked by Musk after the comments.He wrote: “You prerogative, sir, which is exactly my point.

Have a nice day.”You prerogative, sir, which is exactly my point. Have a nice day. pic.twitter.com/qt8ZD3wbM9— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) August 20, 2023“Block is going to be deleted as a ‘feature’, except for DMs,” the tech mogul posted on X on Friday (August 18).
