Elon Musk announced in a series of early Friday morning posts that Twitter be removing 1.5 billion users from the platform in the near future in another shakeup at the company.
The new owner of Twitter, who purchased the social media platform in October, said that the removal of user accounts will be done to free up names for people who use the website. Accounts that will be flagged for removal are ones that have not logged in “for years,” he said.
