Elon Musk\u2019s next step as Twitter CEO might be removing inactive accounts in near future PixabayNew Twitter CEO Elon Musk might be planning on removing inactive Twitter accounts and making the removed handles accessible to other users in the near future. Despite rumors circulating for months, it was finally confirmed just days ago that Elon Musk is now the official owner of Twitter. Since taking over, it appears that the new CEO is wasting no time in changing up the social media platform. As well some other big changes, it appears that the owner is looking at ensuring that all accounts on the platform are active and that old or unused Twitter accounts are deactivated. 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. \u201cPlease purge all inactive accounts,\u201d began Rusch. \u201cThere 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.\u201d Musk responded \u201cdefinitely\u201d to the post, implying that this idea is something that he could be exploring \u2013 or plan on exploring \u2013 in the future. However, Twitter users are already pointing out some potential flaws with this idea. Twitter users share their concerns about making accounts inactive One user responded to Musk and asked \u201cwhat about the accounts of people who have passed away?\u201d Many others have similarly reiterated this concern. Even voicing the idea of having \u201cmemorial\u201d accounts for this specific reason. However, this isn\u2019t the only big change that Musk is planning for the social media platform. There are already reports that Musk is planning on changing up Twitter verification to turn the big blue tick into a feature of a new paid subscription service. As well as this, Musk has even teased the return of Vine. Musk is yet to comment further on the removal of inactive accounts.
