Elon Musk may remove inactive accounts

Elon Musk might be planning on removing inactive Twitter accounts and making the removed handles accessible to other users in the near future.

Twitter user Erich Rusch tweeted at Musk, requesting that inactive accounts should be removed from the platform, their Twitter handles being back up for grabs. “Please purge all inactive accounts,” began Rusch. “There are so many inactives sitting on excellent Twitter handles. Rule should be: If you have been inactive for more than a year, you have 30 days to log in. If not, account gets deleted.”

Musk responded “definitely” to the post, implying that this idea is something that he could be exploring – or plan on exploring – in the future.
