Twitter’s approach to Tweet Editing seems to be unchanged, as, instead of mutating the Tweet text into the same tweet (the same ID), it re-creates a new Tweet with the modified content, along with the list of old ones. “Tweet before this editing,” said Manchun Wong. What this list looks like is unclear at this time. In a separate series of tweets, some other developers, including Alessandro Paluzzi, were able to activate the functionality before its official release. In screenshots and GIFs shared by these people, the edit option is accessible via the three-dot menu. Pressing this button results in an interface that resembles the existing platform composition window – the one important difference being that the button you press to publish the modified message says “Update” instead of “Tweet”. In particular, screenshots circulating on the Internet do not show the editing history of a tweet, although this may be because Twitter has not yet implemented this part of the feature. Whatever the form of Twitter’s editing functionality, it could ultimately be decided by the result of Elon Musk’s offer to buy the company. After buying a 9.2% stake in the social media giant and deciding not to join his board, the Tesla and SpaceX executive offered to buy Twitter for $ 43 billion. On Friday, the board unanimously approved a strategy for the poison pill in an attempt to repel the offer.
