Twitter was later asked to confirm if the tweet was a joke to which they replied:
We cannot confirm or deny but we may edit our statement later.
Some found the joke funny, while others did not.

Only time will tell if Twitter is planning on rolling out an ‘edit’ option or was simply playing with the sentiments of its users.
