CNN’s “Twitter: Breaking the Bird” continues its chronicle of the social media platform’s turbulent journey this Sunday with “Disaster.” Airing at 10:00 PM ET, the episode centers on Jack Dorsey’s return as CEO, a move that many hoped would bring stability back to the company. Spoiler alert: it didn’t.
Dorsey steps back into the CEO role, but he finds himself facing a fresh set of challenges, problems that seem to multiply with each passing day. The episode details these struggles, and you know it has hit DEFCON 1 when Dorsey turns to none other than Elon Musk for advice. Musk would buy Twitter after Dorsey stepped down as CEO for a second time.
With interviews featuring co-founders Ev Williams and Biz Stone, along with perspectives from Twitter employees and journalists like Kara Swisher, “Disaster” offers a behind-the-scenes look at a company in crisis. It’s a story of ambition, innovation, and the often-unforeseen consequences of building a digital empire.
