There are strings attached to the edit button.

Since the day the website launched, you've demanded it, and now you're getting it. Well, sort of.

now that everyone is asking…

yes, we’ve been working on an edit feature since last year!

no, we didn’t get the idea from a poll 😉

we're kicking off testing within @TwitterBlue Labs in the coming months to learn what works, what doesn’t, and what’s possible.

You will need a paid monthly subscription to get the joy of editing your own tweets.

The edit button is being implemented because the company's second largest shareholder held a poll.

Musk was forced to join the board of the company to keep him from goingbbling up a few percentages at a time.

Do you want an edit button?

The poll has received more than four million votes.

Parag Agrawal, the current CEO of Twitter, chimed in to let everyone know that Musk's influence is as large as his ego when it comes to the house that Jack built.

The consequences of this poll will be important. Please vote carefully. https://t.co/UDJIvznALB

You have it. If you are one of the millions of people who have been clamoring for an edit button, you can thank Musk. You will have to pay a monthly fee in order to use that edit button.
