Extremely Hardcore: Inside Elon Musk's Twitter

An accessible chronological account of the Twitter takeover and major players. Very short chapters, easily readable, engaging. I think readers should have some familiarity with how Twitter worked; it never gets into anything too technical, and there’s only background discussion about Dorsey’s vision and the beginnings. For a more in-depth account I’d recommend Battle for the Bird, but if you want a play-by-play recap with direct comments and reporting from former employees, this is a great and it’s a quick read.
