Elon Musk has spoken about his grueling work schedule as the new owner of Twitter and admitted to having “too much” on his plate.
The billionaire businessman gave an insight into his workload during a session at the Business 20 conference in Indonesia on Monday. The conference is the official G-20 dialogue forum and is running alongside the G-20 summit in Bali this week.
When asked how he runs Tesla’s global operations, Musk said he does so “with great difficulty.”
Musk’s comments came shortly after he declined an offer by the former CEO of T-Mobile, John Legere, to “run” Twitter.
Legere took to the social media platform on Nov. 13 where he suggested he should run the site so that Musk can “stop managing daily business, and ‘content moderation’ and then support product/technology.”
“I’m expensive but so is what you paid for Twitter (p.s. please be leadership example of how to tweet)” Legere wrote.
Twitter Workers File Lawsuits After Mass Layoffs
Twitter announced in a company email on Nov. 3 that it would start laying off staff members from its global workforce of 7,500 employees in an “effort to place Twitter on a healthy path” as the platform is losing over $4 million a day.However, the company has since been sued by multiple staff members over an alleged violation of federal law, with workers claiming they were not given enough notice regarding the layoffs and failed to receive their severance benefits when Musk laid off Twitter’s staff.
Elsewhere, Musk also fired Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal, as well as legal affairs and policy chief Vijaya Gadde after taking over the social media platform.
Earlier this month, Twitter employees were also ordered to return to the office after Musk banned remote work.
