Elon Musk, a multibillionaire businessman, has acknowledged that he made mistakes in his first two months as Twitter’s CEO.

Musk, who disclosed this to All-In Podcast, assured rapid improvement as he seeks to reshape the company, Daily Mail reports.

He said, “My error rate in being the Chief Twit will be less over time, but in the beginning, we’ll make, obviously, a lot more mistakes, because I’m new to… hey, I just got here, man.

“I think we’ll have fewer gaffes in the future,’ he added. ‘I think we’re actually executing well and getting things done.”

Musk has presided over a number of major changes since acquiring the company in late October, including the layoff of more than half of the workforce, a botched initial rollout of the Twitter Blue subscription service, and the rapid release of new features such as view counts on tweets.

One of the podcast hosts, David Friedberg, questioned Musk about the Twitter controversies, asking about the ‘negative feedback about quick action without communication’ from some quarters.

These mistakes could be said to be why Twitter users wanted him to step down as the CEO.

WITHIN NIGERIA had reported how Twitter users voted to remove him from his role as Twitter’s Chief Executive Officer after asking them to vote in a poll.

The final result of the poll shows 57.5 per cent of the voters want Musk to leave his role as CEO while 42.5 percent voted against it.

Over 17.5 million votes were cast. Musk promised to abide by the results of the poll but has not done so yet.

Meanwhile, Twitter experienced a major outage on Wednesday, preventing tens of thousands of users worldwide from accessing or using the popular social media platform’s key features.

Amid the peak of the disruption, Elon Musk responded to a tweet asking whether the service was down by tweeting that the service ‘works for me’.

‘Ultimate troll from Elon. Everyone’s feed is broken and his is fine,’ responded one Twitter user.

Downdetector, a website that tracks outages using a variety of sources including user reports, reported more than 10,000 affected users from the United States, about 2,500 from Japan, and about 2,500 from the United Kingdom.

By late Wednesday night, reports of Twitter outages had dropped precipitously. Musk tweeted shortly before midnight, ‘Significant backend server architecture changes rolled out. Twitter should feel more responsive.’

It was unclear whether the outage was caused by the server changes, and Twitter did not respond immediately to a request for comment from Daily Mail.

According to the social network’s status page, all systems are operational, and no incidents were reported on Wednesday.

Some users were unable to access their Twitter accounts via desktops or laptops during the outage. The problem also affected the mobile app and its features, such as notifications.

Others took to Twitter to share updates and memes about the service disruption, with some estimates claiming that hundreds of Twitter employees left the social media company in November, including engineers in charge of fixing bugs and preventing service outages.

The hashtag #TwitterDown trended on the social media platform.

Some attempts to log in to Twitter from the desktop prompted an error message saying: ‘Something went wrong, but don’t fret – it’s not your fault. Let’s try again.’

The outage comes two months after Musk’s $44 billion takeover of Twitter, which has been marked by chaos and controversy.
