Hence, Musk has voiced his enthusiastic approval for the site, and seems to miss its presence on Twitter. On Twitter, Musk has angrily responded to The Onion, after the satirical news site mocked him (amusingly, The Onion has since doubled down). After revealing his new position on the board of directors, Musk polled his followers again, asking if Twitter should add an edit button, intentionally including spelling errors to underline his point - this time, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal noted that the poll would have important consequences.

The feature has been one of the most requested new features for the social networking service for over a decade.

In 2018 he exited the board of tech nonprofit OpenAI, which he cofounded. The company is working on building an open protocol that would allow different social media companies to operate together. "I'm excited to share that we're appointing @elonmusk to our board," Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal said in a tweet. Twitter executives tweeted out congratulations after the announcement.

Elon Musk didn't actually tweet about his new stake in Twitter, which for an avid tweeter seemed somewhat ironic. Maybe it was because the 9.2% he now owns ...

Howard Fischer, partner at law firm Moses & Singer, told Reuters that, given he had already bought a stake in Twitter, these questions could be seen as a form of market manipulation. Mr Agrawal is clearly watching his every move. And it seems most likely that it will be from this Twitter account that Musk will let the world know what he intends to do next.
