À propos de cet audio

 Named a Best Book of the Year by Kirkus Reviews

“Riveting . . . Character Limit offers a telling lesson in the cost of getting everything you want.” —The Washington Post

“You couldn’t hope for a better ringside seat on the unfolding drama . . . [Character Limit] is a triumph.” —The Guardian

“Masterful in how it paints a picture and puts you in the room with the famous entrepreneur . . . Character Limit is a page turner.” —Forbes

Rising star New York Times technology reporters, Kate Conger and Ryan Mac, tell for the first time the full and shocking inside story of Elon Musk’s unprecedented takeover of Twitter and the forty-four-billion-dollar deal’s seismic political, social, and financial fallout

The billionaire entrepreneur and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has become inextricable from the social media platform that until 2023 was known as Twitter. Started in the mid-2000s as a playful microblogging platform, Twitter quickly became a vital nexus of global politics, culture, and media—where the retweet button could instantly catapult any idea to hundreds of millions of screens around the world, unleashing raw collective emotion like nothing else before. While its founder had idealistically dreamed of building a "digital town square," he detested Wall Street and never focused on building a profitable business.

Musk joined the platform in 2010 and, by 2022, had become one of the site’s most influential users, hooking over 80 million followers with a mix of provocations, promotion of his companies, and attacks on his enemies. To Musk, Twitter — once known for its almost absolute commitment to free speech — had badly lost its way. He blamed it for the proliferation of what he called the “woke mind virus” and claimed that the survival of democracy and the human race itself depended on the future of the site. In January of 2022, Musk began secretly accumulating Twitter stock. By April, he was its largest shareholder, and soon after, made an unsolicited offer to purchase the company for the unimaginable sum of $44 billion dollars. Backed into a corner, Twitter’s board accepted his offer—but Musk quickly changed his mind, forcing Twitter to sue him to close the deal in October. The richest man on earth controlled one of the most powerful media platforms in the world—but at what price? Before long Twitter would be gone for good, replaced by something radically different, as Musk remade the company in his own image from the ground up.

The story of the showdown between Musk and Twitter and his eventual takeover of the company is unlike anything in business or media that has come before. In vivid, cinematic detail, Conger and Mac follow the inner workings of the company as Musk lays siege to it, first from the outside as one of its most vocal users, and then finally from within as a contentious and mercurial leader. Musk has shared some of his version of events, but Conger and Mac have uncovered the full story through exclusive interviews, unreported documents, and internal recordings at Twitter following the billionaire’s takeover. With unparalleled sources from within and around the company, they provide a revelatory, three-dimensional, and definitive account of what really happened when Musk showed up, spoiling for a brawl and intent on revolution, with his merciless, sycophantic cadre of lawyers, investors, and bankers.

This is the defining story of our time told with uncommon style and peerless rigor. In a world of viral ideas and emotion, who gets to control the narrative, who gets to be heard, and what does power really cost?

As somebody that listens to a lot of podcasts and loves investigative journalism, this book hit all the right notes. The flow of the book keeps it interesting and fresh for the entire duration. Highly recommend for those with an interest in Musk, Twitter, or just the American political zeitgeist in general.

Feels Like a Podcast (in a good way)

This is such a great book with amazing reporting on unmasking the real face of a psychotic narcissist.

Great reporting that reads well

I was hoping for some interesting insights and perhaps entertainment but this book is almost vomit worthy in it's one sidedness. Clearly the authors were in the cross hairs of Musk's wrath at some point in their lives as this book reads/listens like an arrow directed to destroy any credibility or balance Musk may have had. I could write an expose on this book itself but I won't bore you reading this review as much as I was listening this book. I honestly gave it many chapters but the nauseating endless character assassination as the core tenant of the hook became unbearable. Literally the first book I've ever got a refund for. What's really crazy is how wrong the writers ended up being with the title and ultimate reality of what Twitter became! Oh, and I'm Canadian so have no political stance or bent on Musk the man or Twitter and those who ran it before him. If you want to waste 15 hours of your life you'll never get back grab this book...

Left wing biased drivel
