State of play: Before he announced he had made an offer for Twitter, Musk had talked about the things he would want to change about the social media platform, from adding an edit button to limiting content moderation.
Here's a look at everything Musk said he wants to change about Twitter: An Edit Button
Musk noted the social media platform's lack of an edit button back in a 2019 tweet: "Where’s the edit function when you really need it!?" he wrote.
At the TED2022 conference in April 2022, Musk said he wants Twitter to have an “edit” button and believes the problems critics raise can be resolved. “I think you only have the edit capability for a short period of time, and zero out all retweets and favorites” after an edit.
