Elon Musk has blocked actor James Woods on X after Woods criticized Musk’s decision to eliminate the block function from the platform, formerly known as Twitter.
Previously, Woods had expressed concern that removing the block feature would make the platform “untenable” for users who wish to protect their identities. In response, Musk had told Woods to delete his account if he disagreed with the changes.
In recent days, Musk has been actively mocking and blocking critics of his decision to remove the block option. He defended his stance by emphasizing plans to enhance the mute function, ensuring that posts from muted accounts would be invisible to the muter. Musk clarified that users would still retain the ability to block direct messages from unwanted accounts.
Critics, including Woods, argue that removing the block function could increase harassment on the platform, particularly affecting marginalized groups such as women and people of color. Woods himself has experienced targeted harassment in the past and highlighted concerns about the potential for increased abuse without adequate blocking tools.
Woods, in response to being blocked by Musk, commented on the situation, noting the support he received from fans. Despite the controversy, he stated his intention to remain active on X, emphasizing his commitment to speaking out unless forcibly removed from the platform.
