With unique access to Twitter insiders and Musk''s confidants, this is the astonishing story from all sides. Why did Elon overhaul Twitter''s blue-tick system, and how did it lead to the near-collapse of the company''s revenue? Will Twitter - now X - survive? How has the constant negative press coverage affected Elon? With a wealth of hidden details, Breaking Twitter gives ringside seats to one of the most dramatic and compelling business stories of our time.
