Tesla Inc boss Elon Musk on Saturday defended the move of removing about half of Twitter's workforce by saying that he had 'no choice' as the company was losing more than $4m a day.

Musk tweeted: "Regarding Twitter’s reduction in force, unfortunately there is no choice when the company is losing over $4M/day."
