Twitter now allows longer tweets - if you pay for Musk's subscription


Twitter's shift to longer texts marks a significant break for the company, which has long stood out from other social media platforms with its strict limit on characters. — Reuters

SAN FRANCISCO: Twitter, the short-form text platform, is now an essay-length text platform, and the company has announced that tweets can now have a length of up to 10,000 characters, a massive increase from the previous 280-character limit.

This only applies to users paying the monthly US$8 (RM35) fee for the Twitter Blue subscription, which owner Elon Musk has been pushing as part of a shift away from the company's falling ad revenue.
