If you've been eyeing a certain username on Twitter for a long time, you might be in luck. Twitter is deleting inactive accounts on its platform, which may free up thousands of long-coveted usernames; this is according to a recent tweet by its owner Elon Musk.
We’re purging accounts that have had no activity at all for several years, so you will probably see follower count drop

Actually, Twitter has an inactive account policy that states that users should log in at least every 30 days to keep their accounts from being permanently removed. However, this policy has not been enforced for a long time, and there are many accounts that have been dormant for years. According to Elon Musk, Twitter will be purging accounts that have had "no activity at all for several years", while also warning users that the result of the purge may mean users' follower accounts may drop. Musk also said that this is part of Twitter's effort to improve its platform and reduce spam and bots.
