Elon Musk’s arrival indicates network changes
The newest director of the Twitter Board has already suggested that optimizations are on the way. “I look forward to working with Parag and the Twitter board to make significant improvements to the network in the coming months,” Musk tweeted.
The first of them may even have started on the night of this Monday (4). The entrepreneur opened a poll on Twitter to find out whether or not the community approves a feature of editing publications — a feature that has divided opinions for a long time.

Other changes are also expected. Recently, the same Elon Musk questioned whether users considered the platform democratic and even raised the question of the need to create a new network. Now as a counselor, feedbacks tend to be even more “heard”.
Not that all the issues raised will change. But the billionaire’s nomination — and his popularity on the social network — indicates that optimizations are being planned for the near future. And with Musk’s finger.
