You're viewing a single thread.
Musk repeated the DDOS claim when the Space finally began around 8:40PM ET. “As this massive attack illustrates, there’s a lot of opposition to people just hearing what President Trump has to say,” he said.
So not only is he fabricating the DDOS out of thin air, but he just assumes out of nowhere that it's politically motivated by the "opposition" to silence Trump - when Trump is vomiting nonsense that blankets the media 24/7 and this would do absolutely nothing to prevent Trump from exposing himself to the unwilling public. Galaxy brain genius logic right there.
He's just trying to avoid having to admit that X is an unreliable platform due to him firing all the people that kept it stable. That would mean having to admit his own decisions are not always perfect, and someone of his temperament can't admit that.
Most likely a dev did not want to get fired so he put the blame on a unknown bad actor instead and musk believed, lol
Or Musk has sycophants running IT who can't tell the difference.
"So I've got this script that will make 20k simultaneous requests and average the response time to determine if we're being DDOSed. Someone's got it out for us because there's a short DDOS attack every single time I run the script! These guys are good, whoever they are! I'll trace some IPs... Oh shit. The DDOS is coming from inside the building! Better fire some more people. And don't worry, I'll be running my DDOS detector script a lot for the interview to make sure we don't get attacked!"
🤣
Dude if there’s one thing we’ve done it’s listen to far too much of the drivel that man has to say.
