Elon Musk has always been a prominent personality on social media, and always posts his opinion and notorious memes on some of the trending and topical issues of the world. He has been known to have witty and controversial retorts to many situations.

Musk recently purchased 9.2 percent of the Twitter stock and became the biggest shareholder of the company. He also posted a poll on Twitter, asking if the social networking site should have an ‘Edit’ option for the content. The poll caught a lot of traction online.

Twitter later announced that they have been working on introducing an edit option for the site for almost a year now, and the feature will be launched soon after conducting proper tests.
