Funny that he left the incorrect numbers in his tweet and pointed to his blog for the fixed numbers, even though he’s paying for the ability to edit tweets. That’s one way to drive traffic, I guess.

He claims he can’t edit after they’re posted.
It's correct that Tweets can't be edited after a certain amount of time. But given how incorrect this information is, he should delete this tweet.

I think this is to counter a situation of people posting something adorable to get lots of likes/retweets leading to plenty of fan-out to millions of people's feeds, then replacing the content with something inflammatory.
