Last month, it was widely reported that Twitter will increase its 280-character character limit to 4000. The whole discourse started when a Twitter user mentioned him in a tweet, asking whether it's true that Twitter will increase the character limit, to which Elon Musk simply replied, 'Yes'.

Back then, there was no confirmation on when exactly this change will come, but now we do. Musk has confirmed (through a tweet) that long-form tweets (character limit unknown) will be available in early Feb. 

This part of a UI overhaul will later allow users to share articles or long shares, without having to break them into several different Tweets and make threads. These changes are mentioned to be introduced this coming February. So what do you think? Do we really need that much character limit to tweet?
