TL;DR

Twitter CEO Elon Musk plans to remove inactive accounts that have been dormant for several years to free up abandoned handles. However, concerns have been raised about losing access to accounts of deceased relatives and tweets that hold historical value. Musk hinted that old accounts would be archived rather than deleted. Twitter's inactive-account policy states that users must log in at least every 30 days, and accounts may be permanently removed if left dormant.
