"Want an edit button?" he tweeted late Monday, asking people to vote yes or no.
Twitter users have been asking for an edit button for years as the platform does not allow any changes after a tweet has been published.
The poll came hours after it was revealed that Musk bought a 9.2 percent stake in the company, worth nearly $3 billion, making him the micro-blogging site's largest shareholder and causing a rise of more than 27 percent in the company's shares.
According to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing released Monday, Musk owns 73,486,938 shares of Twitter stock.

Reacting to the poll, Twitter CEO Parag Agarwal warned users to "vote carefully".
"The consequences of this poll will be significant. Please vote carefully," Agarwal said, echoing Musk's statement a few days ago when he began questioning Twitter's commitment to free speech.
Last Friday, the official handle of the platform hinted at an edit button. It turns out that what was thought to be an April Fool's Day prank may have been an honest announcement.
Mr Musk is one of the most popular Twitter users, with more than 80 million followers. He's also highly prolific, using his account to share memes as well as update on his life and companies.
In recent weeks, Musk has used his account to post about Twitter itself and the rules that govern it.
On 24 March, he wrote on Twitter that he was "concerned about the de facto bias in the 'Twitter algorithm' having a significant impact on public debate" and held a poll asking his followers to vote on whether this algorithm should be open source.
