Pressure may work, but why remove the feature in the first place!

This seem to be happening a lot. Remove a feature, but when there's an outcry put it back.

Maybe #Musk hoped nobody would notice it and he'd get away with it.

@Jon6705 My point was AFTER the fact, of course. And clearly he should NEVER have done that, as I tooted yesterday. He's a horror story who's trying to outdo Trump.
