Since taking command, Elon Musk has reduced Twitter's staff from 8,000 to 1,500: an operation that the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX has defined as "painful", which "didn't amuse me at all" in a interview granted to the BBC.
Answering questions from correspondent James Clayton from Twitter headquarters, Musk confessed that taking over the social network was "necessary", but that managing it is "pretty painful" and is like being on a "roller coaster".
Musk stressed that he aspires to make Twitter a "transparent and honest" medium, but that he still has to work on it.
