Elon Musk declared that most of the advertisers who abandoned Twitter after his US$44bil (RM194.17bil) acquisition have returned, suggesting the struggling platform is regaining its footing during a rambling interview played out before millions of listeners.

Musk, speaking in a Twitter Spaces interview with the BBC, reaffirmed Twitter is operating at about breakeven and could become profitable as soon as this quarter. More than three million concurrent users tuned in to the almost two-hour-long conversation, which at times became combative as the billionaire turned the tables on his interviewer and questioned the BBC’s track record on everything from Covid misinformation to hate speech.
