Twitter says it will test an edit feature

• The company said testing began last year and testing would help them figure out "what works, what doesn’t, and what’s possible."

The big picture: Elon Musk, who joined Twitter's board of directors this week after buying a 9.2% stake in the company, had asked users in a poll if they'd be interested in the ability to edit their posted tweets.

• Prior to joining the company, Musk, who has 80.6 million followers, previously floated the idea of building his own social media platform to compete with Twitter.
• Musk, who has criticized Twitter for "failing to adhere to free speech principles," can reform the platform to his liking from his new position in the company, Axios' Hope King reports.
