Elon Musk’s Twitter transformation continues.
According to a report from Fox News, Chief Twit Elon Musk is preparing to purge the platform of 1.5 billion accounts that are either fake or have fallen inactive; Musk says this will free up user names for folks new to the platform.
These are obvious account deletions with no tweets & no log in for years

Musk also has plans to offer users new visibility into how people are interacting with their tweets.
“Tweets will show view count in a few weeks, just like videos do. Twitter is much more alive than people think,” Musk said.

From Fox Business:
The changes come as Musk is moving the company away from a tool regulating the speech of its users — for political convenience or otherwise — and toward a free exchange of ideas.
They also come as Musk has unveiled a trove of internal documents showing how Twitter executives influenced the platform, suspended users and reduced an account or post’s reach to other users.
