Musk said Twitter was ready to delete 1.5 billion inactive accounts and display tweet clicks

Beijing time on the evening of December 9, it is reported that Twitter CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk) said today that Twitter is preparing to delete 1.5 billion inactive accounts.

Musk said it was reasonable to delete these "dormant accounts" because they "did not post tweets" and "haven't logged in for years". At the same time, it will also release a large number of account names for others to use when registering.

In the second quarter of this year, Twitter regarded its 237.8 million users as "monetized daily active users" (MDAC), meaning they were active on the platform, and Twitter was showing them ads.

In fact, Musk has previously said that inactive accounts will be deleted from Twitter. He said in November that accounts that had been inactive for 15 years would be cleared.

This time, it is not clear how long Twitter will delete inactive accounts. But Mr Musk hinted in October that accounts that had been dormant for more than a year could also be at risk.

Representatives of the Twitter have not commented on this.

In addition, Musk announced on Twitter today that there will be a new feature that allows Twitter users to view the number of views of their tweets. "Twitter will show hits in a few weeks, just like videos," he said. "Twitter is much more active than people think."
