Twitter hasn’t given a break and Elon Musk is changing thing after thing. This time the novelty is the number of users who have viewed a specific tweet: for some, the information is already available.
The number of views appears in line with the number of likes, retweets and mentions.
If the like or retweet feature doesn't seem sufficient to evaluate the popularity of a certain publication, Elon Musk has arrived on Twitter to take care of the question... yet another question. In early December, in response to a tweet, the now owner of the social network he said there would soon be a novelty for measuring a publication's reach.
Tweets will show the view count in a few weeks, just like videos do. Twitter is much more alive than you think.

Some users have already started seeing the number of people their posting has reached. In other words, together with the number of likes, retweets and mentions, there are users who are already able to know how many times their tweet has been seen. Apparently, and contrary to the three pieces of information that already exist, only the author can access that number.

The news was brought forward by The Verge, following the sudden appearance of the feature on Twitter by one of its employees. According to him, the information appears when a tweet is opened, and from what he has seen, it is not possible to see the view count of other users' tweets.
As claimed by the same source, for now the feature doesn't reveal anything new, since it was already possible to activate account analysis and have access to this information.
