    I can see making an exception for a single letter name but block is an essential feature of any social network not having it could leave you open to a lawsuit and possibly charges from a stalking murder case

      Yeah, hopefully. Musk loves pushing boundaries. Eventually you wonder if he pushes too far. As other comments here suggest, though, the one thing he really highlights is the arbitrary nature and general inconsistency of these boundaries. The rules may be written down, but they don’t apply equally. It’s helpful to be reminded of that sometimes.
