Elon Musk, the new Twitter biggie, may have thoughts on edit button
Elon
Musk, the billionaire Tesla CEO and power Twitter user who is
now Twitter's largest shareholder and newly appointed board member, may have
thoughts on a long-standing request from users: Should there be an edit button?
On Monday evening, Musk launched a Twitter poll about whether
they want an edit button, cheekily misspelling yes as yse and no as on. More
than 3 million people had voted as of Tuesday morning. The poll closes Tuesday
evening Eastern time.
Twitter's CEO, Parag Agrawal, retweeted the poll with a seeming
reference to an earlier tweet by Musk. , saying The consequences of this poll
will be important," he wrote. "Please vote carefully. Musk had used
the same language in a March tweet describing another one of his polls that
asked whether Twitter adheres
to free speech principles.
Twitter spokesperson Catherine Hill declined to comment on whether
Agrawal was joking, and did not answer whether Twitter would follow the results
of Musk's poll. Musk tweeted Tuesday that he was looking forward to making
significant improvements to Twitter in coming months!
Many Twitter users among them, Kim Kardashian, Ice
T, Katy Perry and McDonald's corporate account have long begged for an edit
button. The company itself recently teased users with an April Fool's Day tweet
saying we are working on an edit button.
