Some users who opted not to see Twitter Inc. owner Elon Musk’s tweets are saying the blocks they placed on his account have spontaneously lifted.

Users like Steve Bowler and shan horan tweeted this week alleging that Musk had been unblocked. Meanwhile, Nazih Fares said the new Twitter owner was also no longer muted -- a less severe constraint where a user can opt not to see tweets from the muted account. That would mean the digital barriers that users chose to put between themselves and Musk’s content are being stripped away on the app without their consent.
