Twitter owner Elon Musk admitted to the BBC that buying the company was “quite a pain”, with its ups and downs, but he would sell it if the right people were interested.
The billionaire entrepreneur, who also runs automakers Tesla and SpaceX, bought the social network for $44 billion last October.
“Pain coverage (for the purchase) is very high, it’s not some kind of party,” and “it’s not boring,” Musk added in an interview with the BBC released today.

The entrepreneur admits that the last few months have been “quite stressful” at the company, but insists that at the time he considered buying, it was the right thing to do.
Workload means “sometimes I sleep in the office,” Musk added.
He also referred to Twitter’s decision to add a label to the BBC’s main account, describing it as “government-funded media”, something that worried the British channel, which has always defended its informative impartiality.
“I know that the BBC in general isn’t enthusiastic about being labeled as a state outlet,” Musk said.
On Twitter’s financial situation, Musk said the company is now at a “break-even point” and most of its advertisers have returned, after many decided to step down when entrepreneurs took over the social network.
Musk is estimated to have a personal fortune of nearly $190 billion, making him one of the richest people in the world.
