Another storm from Elon Musk: the billionaire declared during the weekend that he will increase the number of characters that can be written in each tweet. As mentioned, now only 280 characters can be tweeted in each tweet, which causes many users to post quite long threads.
The indication of the upcoming change, which is still unclear if and when it will be implemented, came from a one-word tweet he posted over the weekend, when he responded to a user who asked him if the number of characters in each tweet would increase from 280 to 4000.

This is not the first time that Musk has announced a future change in the number of characters in a tweet, after last month Musk tweeted that this issue is “on the to-do list”. However, then consider the possibility of increasing the number of characters to a thousand – and not to 4000. In any case, it is very possible that at some point there will be a significant jump in the number of characters in a tweet, although it is not yet clear when and by what number.
