Elon Musk suggested a new feature that should be available on short word social media, with the long-form tweets that the company initially teased. Speculations and leaks said that long-form tweets are coming, and it would benefit those that would create threads or explain things on the platform and have no character count.
Elon Musk Teases Long Form Tweets on Social Media
The world's top billionaire faced a thread that talked about the dangers of making Twitter private, and it was a long one in which Elon Musk talked about a new feature coming. Here, Musk said that his main takeaway from the thread is having "long-form tweets," or the kind of tweets that would expand into a longer one that would hold all the words together.
It is safe to say that Twitter threads are a creative innovation from the public, and this was their solution to the character limit of the social media that initially saw 140 characters and now 280 letters. The spirit of creating threads is different on Twitter, and sometimes, it helps organize an argument in separate tweets.
It is the only place that people can do it, apart from text messages.

Why Twitter Should Not Be Private?
According to the founder and CEO of Terraformation, Yishan Wong, there are many dangers to making Twitter private, and it is something that Elon Musk does not see yet. Musk is on the way to experiencing this first-hand and calls the billionaire "GenXers," that think the internet is freedom and has no limits or bars to their online usage.
Wong said that he had already experienced the "free internet" with Reddit, and it might be the same with Twitter.
Elon Musk and Twitter
A rollercoaster of tweets and events circled the lives of everyone at Twitter and, of course, its executives, which already experience that on a day-to-day basis. However, these past weeks have been a massive exception for everyone. Elon Musk joined its executives as a shareholder of the company, having the most significant stakes in social media compared to everyone.
There were many reactions to minor changes in the market, and several watchdogs looked back and forth on the company's many happenings and developments with its new executives. There are no significant changes yet, apart from the tiny drops and hints about upcoming features, but Twitter said it is not because of Musk.
Musk is a significant presence on Twitter, and the executive is not even a board member.
Nevertheless, his dropping hints on features for the social media platform is a massive thing, and it may be a cause for confusion or conflict among its board and shareholders alike. There are red flags that Musk choose to ignore, and one of them is going private with Twitter again; while it is not something that is happening now, there may be a massive chance soon.
