We survived four years of a Trump presidency, two years of a global pandemic, the ever-worsening impacts of climate change and the beginnings of a horrific war. But if you look outside, you’ll notice that (hopefully) nothing is on fire. That’s because the universe is still being held together by one small, glimmering, spider web-thin thread, and it’s that Twitter doesn’t have an edit button.

On April Fool’s Day, Twitter tweeted that it was working on an edit button. Thankfully, it was just a joke. But things have gotten a bit more serious this week: Elon Musk bought 9.2% of Twitter for $3 billion and took a board seat. Then, he asked his 80.5 million followers if they would like an edit button. So far, around 73% of over 3 million respondents have voted “yse.”
