Summary:
"In battle for the Bird, Bloomberg journalist Kurt Wagner takes the reader inside Twitter's everchanging headquarters, charting its rise from flippant 140-character posts to one of the world's most consequential tech companies. From Jack Dorsey's triumphant return as CEO in 2015 to the rise and fall of @realDonaldTrump to the contentious $44 billion sale to Elon Musk, Battle for the Bird exposes the messy reality and relentless challenges that come with building a global social network. With enthralling minute-by-minute accounts of Musk's controversial takeover from insider employees, Battle for the Bird exposes the real-world impact of the South African billionaire's new role as owner, and employees' growing horror as Dorsey's idealistic promises (and the "Twitter" name) go up in flames before their eyes. Battle for the Bird is the definite, objective, and substantive account of the fight over the world's most influential social media platform. Now, for the first time- through deeply sourced, exclusive interviews-readers will discover how the visionary promises of one iconoclast gave way to the darker, yet-to-be-defined motives of another, upending the virtual status quo and impacting the flow of news and information to the masses"-- Provided by publisher.
