The edit button could have a timeout to avoid people changing tweets after getting interaction. But, Elon Musk is "open to ideas."
Elon's most urgent priority with Twitter is eliminating scam and spam bot armies.

Elon states that to accelerate the advent of sustainable energy, there must be scale. "We've got to transition a vast economy that is currently overly dependent on fossil fuels to a sustainable energy economy."
Energy must be sustainably generated with wind, solar, hydro, geothermal and nuclear. Then stationary storage batteries are needed since solar and wind are intermittent. This is a task for humanity, not just for Tesla, and sooner is better for the environment.

Scale is at the heart of Elon's master plan

Social cues for Elon that he has Asperger's syndrome were not so intuitive. He was very bookish. He took everything literally. As a result, he was frequently bullied and had a difficult childhood.
Elon consumed many books and movies, which helped him in time to understand things that most people intuitively understand.

On the question is funding was really secured, Elon Musk stated that “the funding was indeed secured”. However, the SEC San Francisco office still pursued an active public investigation.
The banks then warned Elon that if he didn’t settle with the SEC, they would cease to provide working capital and Tesla would go bankrupt immediately. The result was that Elon was forced to admit that he lied, even though it was false, to save Tesla's life. “I was forced to concede to the SEC, unlawfully, those bastards.”

Tesla almost went bankrupt in its pursuit to automate manufacturing and achieve volume production. The problem wasn't that they overestimated how much they could automate. Instead, they had issues with almost every aspect of the Model 3 production line, from cells to packs to motors to final assembly.
Tesla is the first car startup since the 1920s that reached production without going bankrupt. Elon lived in the factories for three years. He slept on the floor so that the team who was going through a hard time could see that he didn't just sit in his ivory tower. He was in it with them.

Elon states that “we should be optimistic about the future and fight to make that optimistic future happen.” The future cannot just be about one miserable thing after another, solving one sad problem after another. There have to be things that get you excited and want to make you live. These things are important, and we should have more of them.

Looking forward to the future 

The worst business decision ever was not to start Tesla with just JB Straubel, the visionary co-founder.
Before Elon invested, Tesla was just a shell company with no employees and no intellectual property. Martin Everhard created a false narrative that he created the company.

Elon Musks worst business decision ever

Trust should be increased on Twitter as a public platform.
<ul>
<li>Twitter should be an inclusive arena for free speech. Free speech should only abide by the law.</li>
<li>We should be reluctant to delete tweets, “If in doubt, let the speech exist.”</li>
<li>There should be no behind the scenes manipulation. Not algorithmically nor manually.</li>
<li>Timeouts are better than permanent bans.</li>
<li>The Twitter algorithm should be open source and available online for people to inspect and highlight issues and suggest changes freely.</li>
</ul>
