Elon Musk may very soon bring to life another of the features he promised to implement on Twitter after acquiring the platform. The tycoon plans to include the ability to post tweets up to 4000 characters in early February, as part of a strategy to prevent users from using additional apps or websites to express their opinions. However, 4000 characters will be displayed on the social network a little differently than we see current tweets, which, I remind you, cannot exceed 280 characters. Here’s what Musk said about it.
The executive branch, in particular, replied to a tweet from a user who mentioned that he doesn’t know why many people assume that tweets under 4000 characters will show up in the platform’s feed. Further, it is specified that if this is the case, Twitter should have a “Read More” button.
What Elon Musk did exactly confirmed both points. The mogul emphasizes that tweets can be up to 4,000 characters long. “they will get the same space on the timeline screen as other tweets”. These, however, will show a button to see more, indicating that only the first few lines of text will be displayed to the naked eye; maybe the first 280 characters. “The goal is to allow people to tweet the native long form instead of forcing them to use another website,” the head of Twitter said. in another tweet.
