Musk defended controversial statements on Twitter

“I don’t care,” said the multi-billionaire in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday (local time) when asked about tweets that had affected the share price in the past and put off advertisers. “I’ll say what I want to say and if it means losing money, so be it,” he continued. As for future Twitter boss Linda Yaccarino, an advertising executive and media sleuth, Musk said she will be a “great boss” and will lead the company while he “builds products.”

Musk has repeatedly made headlines since taking over Twitter in October with controversial decisions and statements. He dismissed a large part of the workforce, released blocked accounts and introduced some fees. This deterred members and advertisers. A few days ago he announced that he would soon be handing over his post as Twitter boss to Yaccarino.
