BREAKING TWITTER Elon Musk and the Most Controversial Corporate Takeover in History

This fast-paced story of Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter is delivered with palpable relish by Will Collyer. Recounting the saga from the points of view of several ex-employees, the author attempts to put Musk into context; ex- (and perhaps current employees) talk about a man who is brilliant, engaging, funny, and always contrarian. He is also alone, lonely, and, after a year of running the company, seemingly unsure of how to right his ship. While Twitter was already having problems as a result of its groupthink policy decisions, its downhill trajectory has been alarmingly steep. Foolhardy actions have quickly boomeranged, along with outrageous tweets, polls, and personal vendettas. It all makes for a wild audiobook and, thanks to Collyer, a riveting listen.
