Edit, as a Twitter feature, has been weaponized. It's now a symbol of how Twitter has stagnated and failed to evolve into a more relevant (and potentially profitable) product. Even though it has been in the works for more than a year, once edits are launched many people will credit Elon for "shipping". The Twitter team would do well to launch this ASAP and mark that as a new chapter for Twitter.

- delecti 5y agoThe thread yesterday about Elon getting added to the board was full of people saying that Elon should push to get an "Edit" feature added and then leave. I would be astonished if people aren't already crediting Elon for this.
- overthemoon 5y agoThey are, in this very comments sections!
- meibo 5y agoElon actually tweeted out a "Do you want an edit button?" poll... He's definitely going to weaponize this for public opinion's sake. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1511143607385874434 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1511143607385874434

- jklinger410 5y agoYou might as well edit this comment to save face buddy. The overwhelming public opinion will credit this to Musk, even though it is not true. Because we live in a hell world.
- bombcar 5y agoElon, founder of Twitter and its Edit Button, announced today that he has "funding secured" and has taken the SEC private.
