Elon Musk, now Twitter's largest shareholder, asks if users want an edit button

Just days after buying almost $3 billion worth of stock in the company, Musk floated the idea of a button on the platform.

After acquiring a 9.2 percent stake in the company, the CEO asked his 80.3 million followers "Do you want an edit button?"

Over 76 percent of the 350,000 responses have been a resounding yes, as of writing. Musk seems to have deliberately misspelled the poll options to make his point.

It is unlikely that Musk has the power to add new features to the service. It gives him more sway over the company than other users.

Tweet may have been deleted

A few days ago, the official account of the social media network teased the possibility that it would soon add an edit function, but astute users noted that the declaration was posted on an inauspicious way.

We cannot confirm or deny, but we may change our statement later, according to the statement released by the company.

For a long time, users have been asking for an edit button. If you make a mistake in a tweet, the only way to fix it is to remove it from your account and then re-post it.

Jack Dorsey has made it clear that an edit button is not likely to happen. He has a good reason for this.

In a 2020 interview, Jack Dorsey said that you can send a message and then someone will retweet it and then you can change the content of the message.
