i m not here five days a week. there is a library no one goes to on the seventh floor and there is a couch there and i sleep there sometimes. this in terms of the general overview, the reason why think you ve agreed to do this is because you wanted to talk about the first six months as chief executive owner of twitter. yes, whatever you want to talk about. so how do you think it has gone? well, it has not been boring. it has been quite a roller coaster. so, it s going i think reasonably well. we are seeing some all time highs, total user time. we passed 8 billion user minutes per day, which is a lot of user minutes. usage is up. growth is good.
hello and welcome. let s return to the last minute unexpected interview that elon musk the boss of twitter and ceo of tesla has been doing with the bbc s james clayton. this came about after the bbc objected to a new tag describing it as government funded media on its main twitter account. james began by asking him why he decided to do this interview. there is a lot going on, so i thought this might be a good opportunity to answer some questions and. you know, i guess maybe get some feedback, too. what should we be doing different? i know the bbc for example is not thrilled about being labelled state funded media. it has viciously objected to that term, do you want to respond to it?
