London (EFE).- The owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, admitted to the BBC that buying the company was “quite painful”, with its ups and downs, but that he would sell it if the right person was interested.
The billionaire businessman, who also runs the automaker Tesla and the SpaceX firm, bought the social network for $44 billion last October.
“The scope of the pain (for the purchase) has been extremely high, this has not been some kind of party,” and “it has not been boring,” Musk added in an interview with the BBC released today.
The businessman acknowledged that the last few months have been “quite stressful” at the company, but insisted that at the time he considered buying it was the right thing to do.
Regarding the financial situation of Twitter, Musk said that the company is now at a “breakeven point” and that most advertisers have returned, after many decided to withdraw when the entrepreneur took over the social network.
