Musk Accuses Dems Of “Massive DDOS Attack” Before Live Trump Interview, X Worked Normally Otherwise

August 13, 2024 Trump Corruption, Trump Lies

CNBC reports:

The billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO blamed a cyberattack for freezing the X platform. CNBC was not immediately able to independently verify whether or not an attack took place, but other parts of X continued working throughout the glitches.

After nearly an hour of troubleshooting, the conversation finally began in earnest and went for more than two hours. At various points, as many as 1.3 million people appeared to be watching the interview, according to the X Spaces tally.

“This massive attack illustrates there’s a lot of opposition to people just hearing what President Trump has to say,” Musk said.

Politico reports:

The swirl of posts about technical difficulties echoed Musk’s previous X Live event with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who launched his Republican presidential primary campaign on an X live interview with Musk. As appeared to happen with Trump’s event, the site’s livestream portal, which is audio only, crashed.

“I’m assuming all the Trump supporters who ridiculed DeSantis for the crashing of his Twitter Space with Musk will do the same here. LOLOLOLOL,” wrote conservative commentator Erick Erickson, with a clown face emoji.

Musk posted ahead of the event with Trump that he was “going to do some system scaling tests tonight & tomorrow in advance.” But these precautionary measures couldn’t save the platform from crashing.

As you can see below, Musk is blaming Democrats.
