Stuart Varney: You can’t ignore Elon Musk as 'Twitter files' continues to make headlines
FOX Business host Stuart Varney argues Democrats and government officials turned Twitter into a mouthpiece for the left.
Twitter will be upping its character limit for tweets by a significant amount, CEO Elon Musk appeared to indicate Sunday.
Musk responded "yes" to a Twitter user who asked early Sunday if it is true the social media platform is raising the tweet character limit to 4,000. Users currently face a 280-character limit on their posts.
The Twitter CEO previously told users he planned to make changes to the platform’s character limit. Musk tweeted in mid-November that the "ability to do long tweets" was "coming soon" without offering further details.
Twitter did not respond to FOX Business' request for comment.
