From New York Times bestselling author Ben Mezrich: the book Elon Musk doesn’t want you to read.

BREAKING TWITTER takes readers 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. 
 

  • “The result is a highly engaging and convincing portrayal of Musk’s disastrous impact on Twitter—and its impact on him.”

  • "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."
