Elon Musk says he has PTSD and paranoia about recessions after trying to keep Tesla and PayPal alive during periods marked by financial turmoil
Per The Verge's transcript, one Twitter employee asked Musk how Twitter could increase the number of projects, similar to Twitter Blue, on a sustainable level.
Musk replied, saying Twitter needed to urgently boost subscriptions while a"serious recession" was around the corner. He added that Twitter was in a"dire situation from a revenue standpoint" because recessions have a big impact on advertising. "You may have read that I sold a bunch of Tesla stock. The reason I did that was to save Twitter," Musk said during the meeting, per The Verge."The reason that we are going hardcore with subscribers is to keep Twitter alive."
Musk told Twitter staff to expect one or two years of recession, which will disproportionately affect the company, according to The Verge's transcript. Twitter didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment made outside of normal working hours.
