Elon Musk says he plans to increase Twitter’s character limit to 4,000

Twitter may feel very different in the near future, if we’re to believe an early Sunday morning tweet by Elon Musk. “Elon is it true that Twitter is set to increase the characters from 280 to 4000?” asked user Allan Obare. Musk, who purchased Twitter for $44 billion in October, did not provide any details about the change, nor did he offer any reasons. Since becoming Twitter’s chief executive, Musk has made or proposed many significant changes to the platform, though not all of his ideas have come to fruition. “The point of Twitter was that you had to be concise,” wrote Britni Danielle, a writer and senior culture writer with ESPN.
