Character Limit

This is a book about Elon Musck. Specifically of how he bought Twitter. It was strange that he did not perform due diligence before his purchase. Once bought, he feared the company was in economic peril. So, Musk went on a cost cutting spree starting with his first day.

He hired a lieutenant that contacted all managers. The question posed was if there was anybody who reported them that was worthy of keeping. The default action would be a firing. By the end, 80% of the Twitter workface was eliminated.

Elon had other crazy ideas. He wanted to just stop paying rent on the buildings he leased. He also wanted to cancel employees who travel from booking hotels. Eventually, Elon succumbed to public pressure. He anointed a CEO to replace him. However, he continued to be heavily involved.
