1:52 pm
since his acquisition of twitter. the billionaire tech mogul sharing just how hard the process has been and whether he has any regrets. i want to talk about if you have any regrets. and, you know, i think you were booed at a dave chappelle concert. a little. well, some say a little. some say a bit more. i think your own lawyer said you couldn't get a fair trial in san francisco because there are lots of people that don't necessarily like you here. yeah, but you know, i was wrong. he was wrong, i guess, because i was acquitted by the san francisco jury unanimously.
1:53 pm
so. but i guess, look, do you have any regrets about buying twitter? i think it was something that needed to be done. you know, it's i'd say like the pain level of twitter has been extremely high, so hasn't been some sort of party. so it's been really quite a stressful situation over the last several months. not an easy one. i was, but apart from the pain, i mean. so it's been quite painful. but i think at the end of it, it should have been done, i think. were there many mistakes made along the way? of course, you know. and but you know, all“s well that ends well. and so i feel like we're headed to a good place. you know, we're roughly breakeven. i think we're trending towards being cash flow positive very soon, like literally in a matter of months. the advertisers are returning, i think the quality of recommended tweets has improved significantly. and we've taken a lot of feedback from people that have looked at the open source recommendation algorithm. and we've made a lot of improvements even since that was made open source, and we're going to keep doing that.
1:54 pm
so overall, i think the trend is very good. and if you want to watch the full interview with elon musk — it's available right now — on the bbc news website. well, it's been a tumultuous six months at twitter — since elon musk took over the social media company. let's get a reminder of how we got to this point — with our reporter naomi choy smith who joins us now live from the london newsroom... naomi can you breakdown the past six months for it is hard to believe it has been only six months since elon musk took over twitter, let“s only six months since elon musk took over twitter, let's start at the beginning and the controversy that started about 12 months ago when he became the largest shareholder with a 9.2% stake. things started to
1:55 pm
happen fast. you put an offer for $44 happen fast. you put an offer for $41; billion. unfortunately after that it seemed like he was starting to get cold feet, he sick to end the bids to buy twitter claiming the deal could be reached that there were not enough disclosure of what he called fake bots on the site. a us court after that try to increase the timeline and said a twitter court case may actually go to trial so that brought everything into sharp focus leading to this moment when elon musk completed his takeover of the social media company tweeting the bird is free. leading to this viral moment when he showed up to this viral moment when he showed up at the twitter hq in san francisco bringing in the
1:56 pm
kitchen—sink. the new owners taking charge moving in. after that ed became clear in this now infamous tweet from a former employee that the new corporate ethos was what he referred to as hardcore. he asked his employees to devote many waking hours and may be sleeping hours to his company and that led to more controversy and some filings as twitter began to downsize massively. and end the interview with elon musk we have heard he has actually fired 80% of total staff going from 8000 to about 1500. a mass of downsizing there. all of this controversy prompting elon musk calling into
1:57 pm
question his leadership so he issued a poll on his own social media site but he asked the public whether he should step down as head of twitter city would abide by the result but however shortly after that when the public said he should step down he announced his dog would be the new ceo. fast follower that has been other controversy including the tobacco over the blue tick which has become a point of contention. previously users could be verified if they a legacy on news journalist accounts and the new york times has lost its blue checkmark and the bbc has been designated as a government funded media which james crichton addressed and his interview. thank
