Musk’s rationale for the update is that since blocked users could already view posts with another account, removing the block wouldn’t necessarily change anything. However, this overlooks how this change could lead to harassment, as people could engage with the content without the original poster's knowledge. Many users who feel threatened by others may not want them lurking around their posts, regardless of if they can comment or not.
Elon Musk's implementation of this update seems to stem from his experiences and perceived challenges with blocking on X. By diluting the ability to block effectively, he could be seeking to increase the visibility of his posts, particularly as he’s among the most blocked on the platform. His reasoning appears aimed at reversing any perceived overreach by users who maintain giant block lists that limit audience reach.
