The planned change caused an uproar among some users, some of whom have also vowed to leave X if the feature is removed.
"I will absolutely delete my account and leave this app if X attempts to even *test* this policy, wrote one user. "It's absolutely sick and disgusting."
"As a female climate scientist, blocking is the only thing that makes my engagement here on Twitter/X possible," another user said.
Elon Musk didn't seem shaken by actor James Woods' threat to stop using X if the social media platform moves ahead with a plan to eliminate a feature that lets users block others. "Then delete your account," the billionaire tweeted.
The brusque reply, which the X owner posted to the site on Sunday, came after Woods, a one-time Musk supporter, vowed to leave the platform (formerly known as Twitter) if Musk stripped users' ability to bar certain accounts from viewing and interacting with their posts.
