The purchased share in the company, which apparently makes Maska its largest shareholder, gives the right to vote in the decision-making process on the social network. Therefore, the billionaire, without betraying tradition, asked his 80 million followers his opinion on the most desirable feature that is still not on Twitter.

Twitter and what awaits it?

Want an edit button?
Elon Musk asked, adding the survey to the post.

At the same time, the new shareholder specifically made mistakes in the answer options, typing “if” instead of “yes” and “on” instead of “no”, pointing to the main purpose of this function – sending tweets to correct errors already found.

Commenting on the message, Mask had an interesting conversation with Liz Wheeler, host of The Liz Wheeler Show, and Andrew Bosworth, one of the directors of Meta, who is currently working on virtual and augmented reality.

“My argument against the edit button is this: If a tweet goes viral, gets a lot of retweets and millions of views, and then the author completely changes the meaning? Is it a complete ideological change, not just a grammar correction? Or shameless self-promotion?”

“We fixed this issue on Facebook a long time ago. Just add an indication that it’s been edited with the changelog. If you’re really concerned about the implementation, they can point to a specific revision in this story, but with reference to the last update. It’s not a big deal.”

Of course, the mere existence of such a poll does not necessarily mean that the editing function will be introduced, but there have been cases when Musk listened to the opinions of the audience. However, he is not the sole shareholder of the company and cannot take decisions alone. Previously, the social network administration refused to offer such an option, citing possible unfair use.
