Ben Mezrich
From New York Times bestselling author Ben Mezrich: the book Elon Musk doesn’t want you to listen to.
Breaking Twitter takes listeners inside the darkly comic battle between one of the most intriguing, polarizing, influential men of our time—Elon Musk—and the company that represents our culture’s dearest hope for a shared global conversation. From employee accounts within Twitter headquarters to the mission-driven team Musk surrounded himself with, this is the full story from all sides. Can Musk miraculously succeed or will he spectacularly fail? What will that mean to the global town hall that is Twitter? What, really, is Elon’s end goal? The whole world is watching.
Breaking Twitter will provide ringside seats. Elon Musk didn't break Twitter. Twitter broke Elon Musk.

Critic reviews
"Mezrich mans the conveyor belt at the factory that turns raw reality into its eventual slick cinematic depiction."—New York Times
"Mezrich can conjure a scene so vivid that you not only feel like you know the people on the page, but feel as if you’re in the room with them."—Porchlight

Great listen

I’ve followed Elon’s career most of my adult life, and had been excited when he launched Space X (though I had no delusions about his personal skills after he’d unironically asked an interviewer how many hours a week he was ‘supposed’ to spend with his family). I had, and still have, a pretty dim view of how he and the rest of corporate America treat humans as commodities, but this book did remind me that there is some humanity in him somewhere. None of us are the villain in our own stories…

A sad end to a platform

Overall it covers the takeover and total shift of the company pretty well. It misses a number of details though, such as how Elon tried to basically turn the offices into a hotel for employees so they could be at work full time.
A bit theatrical

Riveting!

I would be careful with my choice of words. I would lay out some facts, and keep my opinions to myself.
Walter Isaacson did.
Ben Mezrich did.
I wouldn’t say I ever liked Elon, but I respected his accomplishments and the big-thinking, almost mission-driven things he pushed forward.
But the more I hear from him lately, the more I think he is an uncaring, hard-hearted ego-maniac, who uses “big-thinking mission-driven things” as air cover to get impossibly rich and behave with total disregard to those affected by his antics.
No one seems to be quite brave enough to say that in print yet.
