Description
Elon Musk's unprecedented $44 billion buyout of Twitter marked a turning point in the platform's history. In this gripping true story, journalist Zoë Schiffer reveals how Musk reshaped the world's online public square into his own personal megaphone.
Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews with over sixty employees and thousands of pages of internal documents and Slack messages, Extremely Hardcore is a high-stakes saga of power, obsession, and ego. It's an unfiltered look at what happens when the world's richest man buys one of its most influential platforms and bends it to his will.
With original reporting and a crisp, matter-of-fact style, Schiffer delivers a blow-by-blow account of the infighting, mass layoffs, and culture wars that followed Musk's takeover. A sharp and deeply sourced fly-on-the-wall account, Extremely Hardcore is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the intersection of business, technology, and power.
