While wearing his Toughest Boy™ bomber jacket, Elon Musk attempted to play the badass tonight, but instead, looked like the world’s most flailing-est Nepo Baby as he literally told advertisers leaving Twitter to — and this is a direct quote — “go f*ck yourself.” Not only that, but Musk repeated himself and made it a point to directly address Disney CEO Bob Iger, who was in the audience for The New York Times DealBook summit where this unhinged spectacle took place. Iger had defended Disney’s decision to stop advertising on Twitter earlier in the day, and clearly, Elon didn’t like that.

Booktrovert thought Rebecca Makkai’s thriller, I Have Some Questions For You, was appropriate to review during Women’s History Month. “This single story about Thalia Keith is set within a context of societal indifference to murdered girls. Or, maybe it’s a preoccupation with them.” Have you read any of NPR’s favorite mysteries? (Cannonball Read 15)
