Twitter confirms an edit button is in the works

Twitter tweeted Tuesday that it is working on a way for users to edit their 280-character messages.

This is a long-awaited feature that many have been hoping for.

Well known users such as Kim Kardashian, Ice T, Katy Perry and McDonald’s corporate account have been advocates for it.

The company says the project has nothing to do with the fact that edit-function fan Elon Musk was just revealed as the company’s largest shareholder and now sits on its board.

Musk shared this poll on his twitter account Monday night asking if users would be interested in the edit button feature.

Almost 4.5 million people participated.

The company said it would first test the feature in its paid service, Twitter Blue.
