【All Out with AJ Raval (2025)】

Listen,All Out with AJ Raval (2025) I've got an idea on how social media companies should be run. First, you get the world's wealthiest person to join in and start obsessively using the platform. Then, he just polls his followers on whether they want a certain feature or not. If the majority says yay, boom: the CEO OKs it and you add the feature.

OK, this may be not the most practical way to do it for most companies, but it looks as if Twitter is being run that way now. Following a poll by Elon Musk — who, by the way, is now Twitter's biggest individual shareholder — which asked his followers whether they want an edit button on Twitter, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal joined the conversation, hinting that the company might actually do it.

"The consequences of this poll will be important. Please vote carefully," tweeted Agrawal whilst retweeting Musk's poll on the edit button.

Notably, these are the exact words Musk used when tweeting to his followers a week ago, after he polled them on whether they think Twitter "rigorously adheres" to the principle of free speech being "essential to a functioning democracy."

Shortly after that tweet, Musk announced he'd acquired a 9.2 percent stake in Twitter, which means he wasn't kidding about changing things at Twitter.

Of course, it’s hard to say what, exactly, Agrawal meant with his retweet, but it looks as if he's taking Musk's poll (which is currently overwhelmingly in favor of adding the edit button) seriously. And this might mean that we're finally getting that edit button, though it's anyone's guess as to when it may happen.
