Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter

Book • 2024

Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter chronicles the tumultuous takeover of Twitter by Elon Musk, detailing the financial, social, and political consequences of his actions.

The book, based on over 150 hours of interviews and extensive research, paints a vivid picture of Musk's volatile leadership, the mass layoffs, policy changes, and the resurgence of hate speech and misinformation on the platform.

It also explores the broader implications of Musk's actions on public discourse, democracy, and the intersection of tech, wealth, and far-right politics.
