On April 14, 2022, New York Times technology reporters Kate
Conger and Ryan Mac woke up to a stunning four-word tweet from Elon Musk’s
Twitter account: “I made an offer.” Having long covered the technology and
social media beat, they read Musk’s terse post as the “unbelievable but
inevitable culmination of two storylines we had pursued for a decade as
journalists in Silicon Valley.”
On today’s episode, Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien
spoke to Conger and Mac about the cloak-and-dagger corporate dealings that
preceded the offer, as well as the drama that unfolded after the ink dried,
which they reported in detail in their new book, “Character Limit: How Elon
Musk Destroyed Twitter.” They discussed Musk’s predecessors—Jack Dorsey and
Parag Agrawal—as well as the platform’s troubled history of content moderation,
and why the billionaire wanted it all for himself.
