Twitter’s outgoing CEO Elon Musk on Sunday apologized to a user for taking up extra space on his platform with a smartphone.

Musk shared a screenshot showing the Twitter app taking up 9.52GB of space on a phone.

“Sorry this app takes up so much space,” he commented in a tweet.

According to Musk, Twitter usage has gone “ballistic” since the changes made to the platform, and there is a huge engagement on the “digital town square”.

In March, Musk had said that the platform was growing rapidly.

He had tweeted, “Over 8 billion user-minutes per day… The most influential, smartest people on Earth.”

Musk also said that the platform will prioritize responses from followers, verified accounts, and unverified accounts in the coming weeks.

Musk recently said that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ technical “ridicule” on Twitter space during the 2024 US presidential election was actually the “top story on Earth”.

Responding to how the traditional media described the technical disturbance, Musk said: “I see this as massive attention. Top story on Earth today.”

He added: “All presidential candidates are welcome on this platform.”

The livestream event was hosted by Musk and tech entrepreneur David Sachs.
