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.

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 cannot edit tweets after it has replies (apparently by design). I added follow-up tweets, but seeing those are not read: I deleted the tweet.

If Lyft were to die, then Uber would be left with a monopoly, it would jack up prices, and we'd be right back to where we were before "ride-sharing", except now higher-tech and more dystopian.
