This "historical fiction" of Musk's takeover and subsequent ruination of Twitter focuses on the events of Nov 2022 - April 2023, as recounted by a few "Tweeps", now fired, and also the author’s imagination. Somehow, despite his alleged "genius", Musk emerges as a petty, thin-skinned dictator who suffered through a miserable childhood and who surrounds himself with yes-men who cater to his inflated ego and rabid need to be liked. Sound familiar? He has no patience for details nor warnings of disaster, and so blunders into losing essential employees and the advertisers who kept the site funded. The book seems hurried and shallow, spiced up with a few juicy stories - sounds like Twitter, doesn't it? Maybe worth a read for the very curious about the how the weaknesses of the world's wealthiest man caused social media's biggest disaster. ( )

Musk playing "Brewster's Millions" isn't much more complicated from the inside than it appeared from the outside. Good call avoiding SBF's crypto buy-in though! ( )
