Elon Musk’s research that can change Twitter forever

Elon Musk, a successful businessman, is a research fan. The owner of Tesla and promoting projects such as PayPal, Space X or Starlink, already used Twitter as a user to ask questions about the future of their companies. In November 2021, Musk Twitter used a survey to his followers about whether he had 10% of his Tesla shares for sale. 58% voted ‘yes’.

Recently, before he did his investment on Twitter, he published another study by asking his followers if they thought that the social network is “rigorous” to the principle that “freedom of expression is essential for functional democracy.” The result was “no.”

Now, after he became the most important shareholder of Twitter after buying 73.5 million shares, he has launched another study that the social network itself can change as is known since birth. Musk has asked if the followers want a button to edit the messages published on Twitter. “Do you want an edition button?” Ask, something that the Twitter concept could change forever, where the messages are not processed and any comments can quickly become viral and sometimes forces his author to eliminate it by not changing it to change it.

Musk has 80 million followers, although he only follows 112. He made his official debut on Twitter on 4 June 2010, clear to prevent others from writing in his name. “Please ignore earlier tweets, because someone occurred,” he wrote. “This is really me.”

Before 2017, Musk used his Twitter account relatively little, but sent more than 1,000 tweets for the first time that year and the number grew to 3,000 in 2020 and 2021.

Most of their tweets speak of Tesla and SpaceX, their space exploration company, with some committed to issues such as politics, cryptocurrencies and the environment, according to visual capitalist.

Musk recently used Twitter for fewer prose aspects. For example, Musk challenged the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, for a “fight against a” in a tweet sent on March 14, 2022. The winner would stay with Ukraine, a country that had invaded Russia.

The leader of the Republic of Chechenia and ally of Putin, Ramzan Kadyov, replied that Musk would fight in a category from his weight and against a male opponent. Musk folded the bet for a later exchange and even temporarily changed his name to “Elona” on the social network to mock Kadyrov’s comments.
