Musk-Trump talk on X delayed by 'DDoS attack' claims Musk
SUMMARY
Elon Musk's live conversation with Donald Trump on X faced significant issues on Monday. Users encountered silence and error messages as they tried to connect to the audio livestream. Attendance fluctuated between 100,000 and over 700,000 due to access problems. Musk attributed glitches to a DDoS cyberattack, though this could not be verified.
Despite testing the system with "8 million concurrent listeners," issues persisted. Musk noted that a code freeze had been implemented to stabilize the platform ahead of the event. Since Musk’s acquisition of X, staffing has dropped from 7,500 to about 1,500, leading to instances of service breakdowns.
