Musk Suggestion for Edit Button; Asks Users To Vote

Musk claimed on Twitter that the site does not allow enough free speech and that it should open source its algorithm. Last Monday, he asked his followers if they “want an edit button,” a long-standing, if polarising, feature request from many Twitter users.

The idea was so revolutionary that it upended Twitter Inc’s existing system, prompting CEO Parag Agarwal to advise Twitter users to vote cautiously in the eccentric billionaire’s poll.

Around 73.6 percent of respondents said “Yes”. Soon after Musk’s poll, Twitter confirmed that it is working on a Tweet editing function. The edit button has been in development for over a year, according to the firm, and will shortly be tested with Twitter Blue subscribers.

Elon Musk proceeded to mock Twitter two days later by promoting his outlandish plans to disrupt the way Twitter works. Elon Musk appears to be hell-bent on bringing the edit button to the microblogging service.

Musk had also teased Twitter with a parody about the edit button being added to Twitter. Musk’s first firm, Zip2, was sold to Compaq for $305 million in 1999, which led to Twitter eventually obtaining an edit button.

Users have been requesting an edit button on Twitter for years, but the microblogging service.

Musk has consistently hinted at how he wants to change Twitter, from prohibiting advertising to lowering its price.

Musk proposed modifications to the Twitter Blue premium subscription service on Saturday, including lowering the price, prohibiting advertising, and allowing users to pay in the cryptocurrency dogecoin.
