Breaking Twitter: James Musk’s Emotional Rollercoaster
Elon Musk's Cousin Experienced Breakdown at Twitter HQ, Feared Losing Job, Reveals Author
Elon Musk’s cousin had a breakdown at Twitter HQ because he thought he’d lose his job, according to an author.
Did you hear the juicy tale of Elon Musk’s cousin, James Musk? Gather round, folks, because this one’s a doozy! According to author Ben Mezrich, in his book aptly named “Breaking Twitter,” James Musk was once discovered on the brink of an emotional breakdown at Twitter’s headquarters. Picture this: a soundproof phone booth acting as his impromptu therapy session.
So, why was James Musk caught in a state of distress, you ask? Well, it turns out the poor guy was terrified of losing his job. Who wouldn’t be, right? The pressure and expectations were mounting on poor James, and as Mezrich tells it, he was “basically sobbing” in that tragic phone booth because he feared he’d be fired faster than you can say “tweet.”
Now, let’s backtrack a bit. James Musk was brought into Twitter—now known as X (cool, right?)—alongside his brother Andrew Musk, shortly after their billionaire cousin Elon Musk snatched up the social media giant for a whopping $44 billion. Talk about family connections paying off! The Musk brothers, sons of Elon’s uncle on his father’s side, became key players in the Twitter universe.
But here’s the twist: James Musk wasn’t a tech whiz or a coding genius like his brother. No, sir! He was what you might call a “fixer type.” You know, the guy who swoops in to solve problems and make things happen. And he happened to be Elon’s go-to guy for various tasks. Imagine that—being overwhelmed and terrified of your own flesh and blood!
Now, let’s set the scene for you. Mezrich, the master storyteller, paints a vivid picture of the chaotic takeover that unfolded at Twitter after Elon Musk’s entrance. And let me tell you, it’s a wild rollercoaster ride. Mezrich claims to have insider access to Twitter employees and Musk’s confidants, capturing the nitty-gritty of the whole shebang.

But before you go thinking this is a completely candid account, Mezrich confesses that he had to reconstruct some dialogue and scenes. Hey, no harm in a little creative license, right? And don’t go expecting to hear direct words from Elon Musk himself—he didn’t grant Mezrich an interview for the book. Instead, the author takes us on a speculative journey into the mind of the enigmatic genius.
Oh, and did I mention things got so intense at one point that X employees even considered calling for a wellness check on dear old Elon? Locked away in his office, the Tesla CEO had the whole team worried sick. Now that’s what we call a ride on the entrepreneur’s emotional rollercoaster.
So, there you have it—James Musk’s teary escapade at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters, immortalized by Ben Mezrich in “Breaking Twitter.” If you’re into drama, family feuds, and corporate takeovers, this is one book you won’t want to miss! Who knows what other secrets lie within the chaotic corridors of Twitter?
