Elon Musk has announced that X is currently experiencing a massive DDOS attack, which has delayed the broadcast of his interview with Donald Trump on the platform. A DDOS attack floods a site with traffic to make it inaccessible, and Musk is working to shut it down so the broadcast can proceed with a smaller number of live listeners or be posted later. The technical difficulties on X have been attributed to a targeted attack by Musk, while Trump congratulated Musk on breaking records with the live interview.
During the interview with Trump, they discussed various topics including the economy, Covid pandemic, climate crisis, AI energy requirements, government efficiency, national security, immigration, and border issues. Trump criticized Kamala Harris’s immigration record and dehumanized undocumented migrants, while Musk blamed the technical difficulties on a cyber-attack and discussed government efficiency commissions.
Musk has a history of deflecting blame for problems at his companies, similar to how Tesla blamed drivers for failures in its cars. The conversation between Musk and Trump on X touched on a wide range of topics, showcasing their differing views on various issues. The broadcast was delayed due to the DDOS attack but is expected to proceed with fewer live listeners or be posted later.
