Musk, on Monday became top shareholder of Twitter Inc after acquiring 9.2% shares. Just few days back Musk had ran a Twitter poll questioning if the social media behemoth was rigorously adhering to the principles of free speech.

After a majority of respondents said the company had failed in upholding the ideals of free speech, Musk had responded to one of the Twitter users saying he is giving “serious thought” to building a new social media platform.

At the time of this report, Musk’s poll has little over 75% people voting for ‘yse’ (yes) option while 24.9% people are voting for ‘on’ (no). Over 11 lakh people have already cast their vote and 21 hours are remaining for the poll to be over.

Prior to this, as a likely April Fool’s prank, Twitter had tweeted that it is working on an edit button. Twitter had remained non-committal whether it was working on bringing the edit button.
