According to Elon Musk, it’s time to start tweeting if you want to keep your account. Despite his claims about Twitter’s progress at the VivaTech conference, it remains a wasteland with spam and bot accounts. But those days will be gone as Musk aims to eliminate these accounts.
Previously, the former Twitter CEO announced his users must log in once a month to keep their accounts alive. People create social media accounts to have a digital footprint. However, many of them seldom post and scroll past other accounts. Twitter was indeed listening to the message loud and clear.
Elon Musk Tweets About Accounts With No Posts
Former Twitter CEO Elon Musk took a playful jab at accounts that don’t bother to post. While others break their back over spreading information, this lot is satisfied to sit back and scroll through the vast sea of information. This leads to several passive accounts, blocking up millions of usernames on Twitter.
Elon Musk shared a meme that perfectly represents the state of mind of people who don’t tweet. It shows a man dressed in traditional Indian clothes, relaxing in a place with a great vantage point. He casually watches the chaos underneath as people gather in random groups. The caption for his tweet reads, “Oh hi lol.”
