Character Limit For Tweets To Be Increased To 10,000 “Soon”: Elon Musk

Twitter users will soon be able to post very long tweets of 10000 characters on the micro-blogging platform, said Twitter chief Elon Musk.

Responding to a user’s query, Musk said the company will “soon” extend “longform tweets” to 10,000 characters. In his question, YouTuber @ThePrimeagen asked Musk, “The dev community and I were wondering if you could add code blocks to tweets?”

The billionaire replied: “As an attachment? How many chars? We are extending longform tweets to 10k soon.”

This comes a month after Twitter announced that Blue subscribers in the US can post long tweets of up to 4,000 characters on the platform. It was the second time in its 16-year history that Twitter increased the character limit count.

However, he did not clarify if this new feature will only be limited to subscribers of Twitter Blue or non-paid users will also be to enjoy it.

The Twitter chief also did not provide a timeline as to when this new feature will arrive.

Twitter launched the first character-length expansion in 2017, when it doubled its initial 140-character limit to 280.
