In addition, improvements will also be made to Twitter’s search functionality as the current feature “reminds me of Infoseek in ‘98,” he wrote, “That will also get a lot better pronto.”

Engadget notes that NBC News‘ Ben Collins quickly clarified that Twitter was already working on the long-form text feature pre-Musk, “He’s taking credit here for a bunch of work that some employees did before he laid them off.” Tech blogger Jane Manchun Wong, who has proven to be reliable source for information, also previously stated that Twitter was developing on the feature dubbed “Articles.”
