More Information
On Friday, October 18th, The New York Times technology writers Kate Conger and Ryan Mac discuss their new book: Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter, the inside story of Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter and the forty-four-billion-dollar deal’s seismic political, social, and financial fallout. Hosted by Tulane Law and the Center on Law and the Economy.
Conger and Mac follow the inner workings of the company as Musk lays siege to it, first from the outside as one of its most vocal users, and then finally from within as a contentious and mercurial leader. Through exclusive interviews, unreported documents, and internal recordings at Twitter following the billionaire’s takeover, the authors provide a revelatory, three-dimensional, and definitive account of of the showdown between Musk and Twitter and his eventual takeover of the company.
This event is open to the Tulane community and anyone interested in law, business, technology, and journalism.
