In about two weeks under Musk's leadership, Twitter has fired over 3,700 people, and a slew of high-ranking execs have resigned.
Twitter owner Elon Musk has decided to find a new leader to oversee the social media platform. New York Post, citing Reuters, said that Musk made the remarks on Wednesday while testifying in a Delaware court to defend against claims that his USD 56 billion pay package at Tesla was based on easy-to-achieve performance targets and was approved by a compliant board of directors.
Musk intended to finish an organisational restructuring this week and he expected to reduce his time at Twitter as Tesla investors have been increasingly concerned about the time that Musk is devoting to turning around the microblogging site.
