Elon Musk unblocks everyone on Twitter, calls negative feedback a good thing

Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, on Saturday confirmed that he has unblocked everyone on the microblogging platform, calling "negative feedback a good thing".

The billionaire clarified that everyone that he has ever blocked on Twitter has been unblocked, apart from the scammers. He further recommended people to do the same thing.

"I have unblocked everyone I blocked, apart from scammers. I recommend others do the same. Negative feedback is a good thing," Musk tweeted on February 25.

Ever since Musk acquired the microblogging platform last year, he has been bringing in a lot of change, including to his own personal Twitter account.

For instance, earlier this month, the Tesla chief had locked his Twitter profile for 24 hours to test how account privacy affects the reach of private and public tweets.

The 51-year-old said that the test helped him identify some errors within Twitter's system which the social networking platfomr has plans to address and fix soon.

The SpaceX boss has also been complaining about his tweets not reaching enough audience on the site.

Meanwhile, Twitter recently removed captions from the company's social audio rooms, "Spaces" on iOS, the media reported.

The company still advertises that users can enable captions in a Space by clicking the three-dot menu, but that option is currently unavailable on iOS.

Moreover, captions do not appear when listening to a Spaces on the web, and while the "CC" closed captions button is present, clicking it on or off has no effect.

On Android, the option to enable captions is present, but it does not work.

Earlier this week, Elon Musk said that the micro-blogging platform will make its algorithm "open source" next week, and improve it "rapidly".

When Musk tweeted, "say what you want about me, but I acquired the world's largest non-profit for $44B lol", one user commented: "Right. Now open source it, then we'll be truly impressed."


To which the Twitter boss said "Prepare to be disappointed at first when our algorithm is made open source next week, but it will improve rapidly!"
