So there are only two possibilities - either Vichy Twitter is such a poorly run site that it crashed on its own, or it's such a poorly run site that it's not prepared to deal with being DDOSed.

Did Trump tell him how rude it was to start 42 minutes late due to technical issues, or is Musk a white man?

Could it be because Xitter is made up of spaghetti code hosted on cheapest possible hardware?

X is reeling this morning after its website crashed last night due to an orchestrated attack on its servers during its Elon / Trump interview. A spokesperson for X said that the attack seemed to have been orchestrated by a foreign state actor. “We are currently looking for a group of roughly 900,000 people who could have carried out such an attack to silence Trump.” The spokesperson said it was clearly a foreign nation. “X couldn’t possibly have failed due to too many concurrent listeners. According to our latest figures, there are only 10 actual people who aren't bots that still use X, 5 of which are confused and still think it's Twitter.” Tech experts said that they had never seen such a sophisticated and well organised attempt to flood the servers, using millions of different points of attack. The experts say the attack was highly organised. “In order to get millions of computers to participate at the same time, the perpetrators harnessed social media to encourage people to flood the servers, and overload the website. This was sophisticated stuff.” “They announced their attack day months ago, and then worked methodically to make sure everyone remembered the attack date.” “The perpetrators must have known that no computer server can withstand the load of an entire nation trying to access the same website at the same time on the same day.” —

“Trump is slurring in a way I've never heard from him before,” remarked podcaster Susan Simpson. “Elon sounds like this is maybe the third or fourth time he's had a conversation with a fellow human.”

This is my favorite comment

That's what happens when the first thing you do is fire all the Site Reliability Engineers... Apparently he stack-ranked engineers based on most lines of code (SREs generally write less code and even often delete code) and fired the lower end of that scale.

Could it be that Lonnie is a lying liar? No, not the man who has promised "full self driving" for like a decade and still hasn't delivered it… He's not a lying liar, right?

Lonnie lies like a mother fucker. But not as much as the orange shithead.

By Twitter's standards, the "DDoS" is probably just a lot of people tuning in.

The F(elon) Musk interview.

Seems like a regular thing happening on Xitter nowadays. Another day, another heavy load that doesn't flush, I guess.

lol

Why is this so familiar? Didn't he already try and fall to prop up another Republican ghoul the same way? I wonder what the last engineer not fired at Twitter is doing. They still haven't fixed Twitter's livestreaming.
