    • Elmu: I’ve got it! We’ll make stalking easier!
    • Staff: Uhhh
    • Mush (now halfway out the door): Have it done by Sunday.

      Alternatively:

      Staff: Uh, the blocking feature is having some issues.

      Emu: Well fix it.

      Staff: No one knows how that part works and you fired the guy who wrote it. And then you insulted him.

      Emu: Meh, just remove the whole feature.

      My guess as to how it went:

      • random twitter troll: “haha Elon you’re probably the most blocked person on this site”
      • Elon: “not anymore”

        That’s how it went the last time he brought the subject up. During that hole period where we learned he had the engineers tweak the algorithm to 10x his visibility in the feed.
