Horrifying!

But in more detail, I recommend this book for everyone. It's digestible no matter how closely you followed the Twitter takeover. It's at times funny, incredibly scary, and the most astounding story of the richest man in the world destroying what he set out to save. Character Limit reveals the behind the scenes to 4:00 am tweets that altered history, as well as the dumb midday decisions like the X sign on the twitter building that make me feel better about my own life as a college student with no impulse control. My bad decisions make me spend $7.45 on a coffee at Dutch Bros, not $54 billion on the modern internets equivalent of a cesspool (and for the record Elon, coffee, unlike Twitter Blue, is a quality product).

This book is an autopsy of The Site Formerly Known As Twitter, and how obsession can only destroy. Elon Musk is the richest man in the world, and even before he entered the Trump Administration, he was one of the most influential. Yet this book is a testament to how he is also perhaps one of the most insecure people in the world. 

It was not enough for him to build Tesla, nor to forever altar Earths night sky with Starlink satellites. He needed more. Elon needed to be loved, to be seen as a hero. And for that need to be fulfilled, our tools of communication, our internet, and our lives, have all been irrevocably changed forever.
