Musk May Increase Length of Posts and Videos on Twitter

Elon Musk has said he is willing to allow longer videos and tweets on Twitter after buying the platform.

In a tweet, the new owner of the platform said that he is willing to permit to post longer videos and tweets. Twitter currently allows videos up to 140 seconds long and tweets up to 280 characters.

One Twitter user asked Musk:

Can we get rid of character limits, or at least greatly expand it? One of the actual better things about WeChat than Twitter. Would be better for public discourse than short fuses, no?

For his part, Musk replied:

Absolutely.

Musk also hinted that he would consider increasing the length of videos that users can post on Twitter, after one user asked him a question.

Musk is also known to be a supporter of the edit button, which has recently begun testing. Musk may try to accelerate the introduction of such a feature.

Musk also intends to make changes to the Twitter Blue subscription, which gives members access to exclusive features. He says members should receive an "authentication checkmark" and that they should pay a year in advance, but at a reduced price of $2 per month.

Earlier this week, Musk tweeted that Twitter will form "a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints." Until the council is convened, major decisions on content are on hold.
