At first I thought it must be a parody account (but Elon has new rules regarding those):

Below is why the hashtag is trending (though with Elon-sized hiccups - see below)
https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/14/23600358/elon-musk-tweets-algorithm-changes-twitter
One poster suggested Elon will make everyone force-follow him like a Malevolent MySpace Tom
But the Eloncels are rallying to support their master by keeping the hashtag trending by blaming it all on crazy libs :D
https://twitter.com/hashtag/blockelon
Elon is proving to be he's own worst enemy and this feels like when he was booed at Chappel's show

I'm a super cool guy, I blocked Elon years ago.

Hey, a job is a job. Dont shame people for doing what they need to do to pay the bills. Paid Elon shils are still better than landlords
TheZommie
shit like this makes me wish I already had a twitter account to join in, but honestly, too much effort for too little pay off to make it

"Malevolent MySpace Tom" Tom: Auto-friends everyone so no one is alone. Elon: Makes everyone follow him because he's afraid of being alone.
diesel01
Afraid of being ignored, I think. “I’m the prettiest princess, LOOK AT ME!!!”

Logged in to twitter account I don't use and only had to sign up for some promo thing just to block Elon.

She’s not the voice of reason. She’s just a paranoid psychopath who happens to be attacking one of her own
J4nein4ne
I'm fine with fascists attacking other fascists. Thin the herd, I say. When they're attacking their own, they aren't attacking us.
CookieMonstersCrumbs
I don't have any politics/real world following/ers and fucking muskrat shows up in my 'for you'. Blocked/reported/muted it instantly.
Lumpyguy
It was a little bit after he took over Twitter that I saw one of his tweets on my timeline. I immediately blocked him, cause fuck that.

Haters will say it's fake.

Glad I hadn't deleted my account yet so I had a chance to block him
Khornight
I don’t really use Twitter, but I’ve gone in and blocked him anyway.
Artemis27
Anyone else not gonna let their Elon supporting friends forget they supported him when it's embarrassing to do so

Including this site - found this 2017 cringefest a few days ago: /gallery/MEJ8f

If I was, or ever had been on Twitter, I would have blocked him. But I’m not. Nor will I ever be.
shinagami091
Imagine being the (once) richest man in the world and being as insecure as a teenager.
404GravitassNotFound
I'm off to block him and...oh I already did. 2018 you say?
fireflyseasontwo
You might check that as it seems a lot of people who had blocked him early had those blocks removed when Elon took over last year
IamGelatinSkelly
I can see him screaming at his staff to remove the ability to block and mute next or at least attempting to
Cytos
Deleted my account when the security team left/got fired. That place is a dumpster-fire.
permissiontolosedenied
I put him on ignore. It was super annoying seeing his tweets on my timeline when I don't even follow him..

the man with the fragilest ego ever

Yes, I believe you are correct, even accounting for Trump
OrionJC
Clearly not a man. Petulant child.
CosplayComet
I'd block him if I didn't delete my account a couple months ago...
keyblader1985
^^
putcleverusernamehere
I'da blocked him if I ever had an account. Alas
WeaselBandit
Funnily enough, i deactivated my account and it's supposed to be deleted after 28 days. Every 20 days or so i get at notification that>

Same same.
AndyTheAbsurd
I had him blocked years before he bought Twitter. Deactivated my account the day he let Trump back on. Haven't regretted it once.
Cargobiker530
I'd block him but I was banned from Twitter for using the phrase "gun loons." Too rough for Twitter I guess.
iananimated
Ditto.
jonlancaster
This is the way.
AeonQuasars
I would, but I don't remember my password and the mail I registered with is not working anymore.
Heisanevilgenius
I was considering deleting my account and decided to hold off for now. Glad I did now because blocking Elon is fun
DaggettOFlannigan
thank
scottEkarate
Twitter is the worst of the big social media apps right now. They started fucking with the timeline. You can only see people with checkmarks
GoliathSkittles
Not true? You can easily set it to chronological, you see all the tweets of all the people you follow and no recommended algorithm bullshit
GoliathSkittles
I honestly don't know why anyone would use any social media site any other way.
fireflyseasontwo
That's because the blue ticks are pathetic Eloncels paying Musk for the privilege to boost his ego
diesel01
So he fired an engineer for suggesting his low engagement was due to lack of interest, then had algorithms tweaked to prioritize his tweets
diesel01
for views to make him feel special. Reprehensible but that’s Elon. What is Coulter talking about, though?
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Basically just the newest stage of right-wingers whining about a left-wing bias in social media because they can't openly call for genocide.
datester35
Why shouldn't an owner of a platform make his tweets artificially inflated?
barkerjustinw11
It's the hypocrisy as well as the general problem in society where right wing voices accuse the left of something, then do it 10x worse
usernameusedinlessplatforms2
I'll build a strawman for you: you are watching tv and it keeps changing itself to the channel showing manufacturers CEO giving speeches.
diesel01
The issue isn’t him doing this, or killing critical posts, or showing preference for right wing bs. It’s him insisting he’s making it a safe
diesel01
space for all ideas, and interest will drive engagement will drive visibility. It’s the wholesale hypocrisy he routinely engages in.
datester35
He does allow 99% of ideas, right and left, just not ones that criticize the owner of the platform. Just use a different platform for that?
fireflyseasontwo
Paid blue ticks who block users can get them shadow-banned if enough do it & blue ticks are all Eloncels now
datester35
Blue ticks still represent the officjal accounts of most celebrities / companies
fireflyseasontwo
Celebrities are unpaid "legacy" & don't count, neither do legacy companies but those aren't "blue" anymore
fireflyseasontwo
Elon is also going to rescind the legacy ticks soon: https://fortune.com/2023/02/10/elon-musk-warns-again-remove-legacy-blue-checks/

so that is why the dumbass is having his numbers wrecked.
