Elon Musk Says Raising Twitter Character Limit to 1000 Is On The ‘To Do List'
Elon Musk has been making multiple changes to Twitter ever since he took over the company. An increase in the character limit from the current limit of 280 characters is something that many members of the Twitter community have been demanding for a while. When spaceflight photographer John Kraus twitted at Musk saying the character limit for tweets should be expanded to 1000, Elon Musk responded by saying that it is something that is already on his ‘To Do List'. This could very well mean that the Twitter character limit could be upgraded from 280 to a higher amount in the near future.
It's on the todo list
