Taking to Twitter, Elon Musk said, "The last three months have been extremely difficult since I had to save Twitter from bankruptcy while also completing essential Tesla and SpaceX tasks. I wouldn't want that pain on anyone. Twitter continues to have challenges, but it is on track to break even if we keep at it. The public's support is much appreciated!" He tweeted in response to a Wall Street Journal article.
Musk lamented the company's 'huge loss in revenue' just one week after finalising the $44 billion (approximately Rs. 3.6 lakh crore) deal to buy Twitter in October, which he blamed on 'activist groups pressuring advertisers,' according to Fox Business. According to the news source, he has made many modifications on Twitter since then.
Following Fox Business, Elon Musk has laid off roughly half of Twitter's staff, launched a new microblogging site, Blue membership service, and even auctioned off artefacts from the company's San Francisco offices. In November, he defended the Twitter layoffs, claiming that the firm lost $4 million (approximately Rs 33 crore) daily.
According to the reports, Twitter has said that it will begin charging a charge to access its API, which developers use to create third-party services. Earlier on January 13, Musk detailed some of the improvements that would be implemented in the microblogging platform beginning next week. "Bookmark button moving to tweet details page, adjusting image length crop, and other minor bug adjustments next week," he said.
