Elon Musk could bring an edit button on Twitter, Here's how

Elon Musk asks Twitter users whether they'd like an 'edit' button. Twitter's CEO Parag Agrawal says results of the poll will be 'important.'

It comes after Tesla CEO and SpaceX Founder Elon Musk bought 73.5 million shares of Twitter stock to secure a 9.2% stake in the company, worth $3 billion.

Now, it seems Elon Musk will be using his pull over Twitter to bring one change to the app that users have been waiting for for years – an 'Edit' button.

[{"selector":"#anim-7cd8557e-30e7-45b8-af26-4688b9ac5523","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e886856e-bfa4-49f8-98f6-ff97974c5583","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 128.90012%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

“Do you want an edit button?” asked Musk in a tweet, leaving a poll attached with two options, perhaps intentionally mistyped as 'yse' and 'on'.

[{"selector":"#anim-2ad456f2-71ae-4226-9ddc-110d23a06d1c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0616e07e-3c8b-475e-bd39-0df0153f3c2a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 128.90012%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This may or may not be a clever nod to spelling mistakes, one of the major reasons Twitter users have been asking for an edit button.

[{"selector":"#anim-d8648280-9bd1-4a59-8550-d8747e907c2e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d5c41a8c-a2a7-49d0-aacc-b1f55e87c1f9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 128.90012%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal retweeted Musk's tweet with a caption saying: "The consequences of this poll will be important. Please vote carefully."

[{"selector":"#anim-66a99aa9-c488-4f79-a227-5ac001686de7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4e0d9e59-c086-45b2-937e-19674410be08","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 128.90012%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Twitter itself announced that it was working on an edit button on 1st April, which many suspected to be an April Fool’s prank.

[{"selector":"#anim-52f4dbd2-5f62-4390-8e21-83638c3f3684","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-69ad75de-1f9b-4d45-bc8a-de402da94e5d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 153.74832%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

As per a report by Reuters, when asked if the tweet was a joke, the company replied, “We cannot confirm or deny but we may edit our statement later.”

[{"selector":"#anim-4b346ffa-1269-4511-8360-7410c70c72e1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-68098daa-63b3-446b-bb4d-dd039e69d278","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 128.90012%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Twitter is still deciding whether or not an edit button should come, and it remains to be seen how much weight Musk’s poll will have on final decision.
