Another day, another update on Elon Musk’s Twitter. This time, it is about increasing the character limit. Oh yeah, you read that right. The tech billionaire has stated that it is a âgood ideaâ to increase the character limit from the current 280 to 420.
It all started when Elon Musk shared a couple of slides from his âTwitter company talkâ. From the hate speech impressions dropping to relaunching blue verified, Elon Musk âTwitter 2.0 the everything appâ slides grabbed a lot of attention.
People were quick to share their suggestions in the reply box. And, the one that caught Elon Musk’s eye was about the character limit. The user wrote, âLet’s go! Twitter 2.0 should make the character limit 420 instead of that annoying 280.â To this, Musk replied, âGood idea.â
Meanwhile, Twitter is planning to roll out the verified mark âtentatively next week.â The announcement was made by Elon Musk on the social media platform. âSorry for the delay, we’re tentatively launching Verified on Friday next week. Gold check for companies, grey check for government, blue for individuals (celebrity or not) and all verified accounts will be manually authenticated before check activates. Painful, but necessary,” he said.
