Elon Musk Says Trump X Space Delayed Due to ‘Massive’ Cyberattack

X owner Elon Musk said that a “massive” cyberattack delayed his Spaces interview with former President Donald Trump on Monday night — while others noted the disruption was eerily reminiscent of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ glitch-filled presidential campaign launch on the platform the year before.

“There appears to be a massive DDOS [Distributed Denial of Service] attack on 𝕏. Working on shutting it down,” Musk posted 18 minutes after the scheduled start time for the interview.

“Worst case, we will proceed with a smaller number of live listeners and post the conversation later,” he said, claiming to have tested the Space earlier Monday with “8 million concurrent listeners.”

Reps for X did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but company insiders spilled to the Verge that likely no such cyberattack took place. . .

The conversation kicked off a little after 8:40 p.m., with the X owner saying, “As this massive attack illustrates, there’s a lot of opposition to people just hearing what President Trump has to say.” (Read more from “Elon Musk Says Trump X Space Delayed Due to ‘Massive’ Cyberattack” HERE)
