It’s hard to think of a missing social networking feature as highly requested as Twitter’s mythical edit button, but based on a couple of cryptic new messages tweeted by two very important people, your absurdly long wait for something that’s been around on Facebook for ages might be over… at some point.
Do you want an edit button?

With over two million votes counted at the time of this writing, the results are completely unsurprising, with close to three quarters of respondents picking the “yse” (aka yes) option and around 26 percent seemingly supporting chaos by replying “on” (aka no) to Musk’s possibly innocent and definitely humorous question.
But that’s where Parag Agrawal comes in, urging his own followers to “vote carefully” as “the consequences of this poll will be important.” Far less famous than Elon Musk, Agrawal was passed the Twitter CEO baton by Jack Dorsey a few months ago after joining the company back in 2017 as chief technology officer.
