Musk has been on a mission to revamp his $44 billion acquired microblogging site ever since he took over. In the past couple of months, he has done so by making penny-pinching efforts like slashing 50 per cent of the workforce, lapsing rent payments of the offices, and suspending food expenses.

Sridhar Vembu of Zoho shared the report and congratulated Musk on Twitter while pitching his company, Zoho. Vembu tweeted,"@elonmusk Congratulations on getting rid of bloated and expensive Salesforce software. We at Zoho would be very happy to serve you.
