Today’s “Word of the Day” is megalomaniac and it is a noun meaning “a person who has an abnormally strong desire for power and control”.
Example Sentence: If you passed by the Twitter headquarters in San Francisco on Thursday, you would have seen a stream of insults projected on to the side of the building: “Elon Musk: mediocre manchild, pressurised privilege, petty racist, megalomaniac…” Inside, employees had received a message asking them to sign a pledge to work “long hours at high intensity” or leave their jobs. This came on the back of large-scale layoffs and an all-company email sent at 2.30am declaring “there is a good chance Twitter will not survive the upcoming economic downturn”.
This word is present in The Guardian article The Elon Musk effect: have we reached our limit with awful bosses? and click here to read it.
