Elon Musk declared that most of the advertisers who abandoned Twitter after his $44 billion acquisition have returned, and said the company could become cash-flow positive as soon as this quarter.
Speaking in a rambling Twitter Spaces interview with the BBC, Musk said there are just 1,500 employees left, down from around 8,000, and he reaffirmed Twitter is operating at about breakeven. More than 3 million concurrent users tuned in to the almost two-hour-long conversation, which at times became combative as the billionaire turned the tables on his interviewer and questioned the BBC’s track record on everything from Covid misinformation to hate speech.
