Trump/Musl opponents successfully launched a DDOS attack on x.com tonight…

Uh, no. That’s the excuse of an embarrassed techie searching for something to say, given that the same thing happened last time there was a high profile interview, that time with Ron DeSantis who Musk was busy endorsing (and sucking up to.)

But it didn’t happen. The rest of Twitter, sorry, I mean X was up and running throughout. Even one of the few techies still employed said (at first) there was no sign of a DDOS attack. Press reports from friendly writers skip past it, too: The Wall Street Journal:

“There’s a lot of opposition to people just hearing what President Trump has to say,” Musk said as the delayed event began. Some observers questioned Musk’s explanation, noting the rest of the platform seemed to continue working. “

Personally, I like CNN’s story:

Trump at the time mocked DeSantis’ botched launch, saying on his Truth Social website that it was “a DISASTER!” “His whole campaign will be a disaster,” Trump said.

The Harris campaign shared that Trump comment about DeSantis on its own Truth Social account when the former president’s own event with Musk was delayed Monday night.

Love you Mike, but you might want to look up the definition of “gaslit”.
