What’s Elon Musk doing with Twitters ‘freed’ 1.5 billion accounts?
Early on Friday, the new owner of the social media platform tweeted what was about to be happening following his clean-up.

The entrepreneur had previously committed to cleaning up the platform and it would appear that this process has turned up around 1.5 billion accounts that have been deleted due to no user logging into them or tweeting from them.

And on the back of that, Musk has now said that the handle names of those accounts -- remembering that you cannot have two accounts with the same @name -- will be freed up for use.
