says it will increase the 280 character limit to 4,000

Between tweet and tweet, and while he spends his time revealing what he has called the ‘Twitter Files’, where he tells, among other things, how the Twitter account was deleted. Donald Trump, Elon Musk continues to make decisions about the social network. the last can put an end to the very philosophy of the network social.

In a conversation with a user, the tycoon has confirmed with a brief “yes” that he is going to undertake a change that may be key to the operation of the network: he is going to increase the 280 character limit to 4,000.

If it is finally carried out, it will mean the effective end of one of the most popular customs and uses of tweeters: the threads. The question from Allan Obare, a user with more than 10,000 followers, is direct: “Elon, is it true that Twitter is going to increase characters from 280 to 4,000?”

If you finally carry it out, the idea that twitter is a social network in which you have to summarize a lot will end. In fact, his own name is inspired by peeps of the birds, a short and direct sound of just a few seconds that serves to chain their song.

It was already widely discussed whether the increase from the original 140 characters to the 280 that were implemented in 2017 complied with what was initially promised, but that, due to the initial doubts, ended up being an accepted idea. Now with this new decision it may also be difficult to accept it but may it succeed.

Musk’s promise does not mean that it will finally be carried out. Perhaps it is another of the “nonsense” that he warned would happen in the coming months when he took control of Twitter. What he has undertaken is the path to make it more profitable, and starting this Monday he is going to relaunch the Twitter Blue program (with a price increase for iPhone users). This program will allow, among other things, to obtain the account verificationCapacity for edit tweets o play videos in high resolution.
