The debate over adding an “edit” button to Twitter is the most ideological chasm of our time – and Twitter is willing to change sides.
Twitter said Tuesday that tweets could be changed. Twitter started testing a tweet-editing tool last year in Twitter Blue Labs, a part of the premium service that tests new features. This is where the company tests new features. Sometime in the next few months, Twitter Blue users should be able to change their tweets.
On Monday, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk, bought a 9.2% stake in Twitter and joined the board. Musk, the rebel that he is, tweeted about the existence of an “edit” button a day before the company made the announcement.
It will be interesting to see how Twitter responds to users’ suggestions as the test goes on. Even though there are strong feelings on both sides of the debate, it is hard to figure out what the majority wants. Others are worried about making it even more difficult to deal with misinformation and abuse on a social network that already has a lot of problems.

The company has said in the past that it doesn’t want to let people change their tweets because it isn’t important. It’s not led by CEO Jack Dorsey, who had to speed up the company’s pace at the end of his term.
Even though Dorsey isn’t here, keep going. Twitter has been rushing to make new products in the last two years, quickly making and getting rid of new features. Fleets, Twitter’s experimental disappearing tweet feature, will no longer work in November 2020.

For a monthly fee, Twitter Blue has a lot of perks. The company has been trying it out for a little over a year now. For example, the platform’s rules are changed regularly to reflect what’s going on in the world, just like TikTok response videos and photos that are good for taking.
