Donald Trump, Elon Musk event on X crashes site, Tesla CEO blames cyberattack

Elon Musk’s much-hyped interview of former President Donald Trump on the social media platform X was quickly derailed by technical glitches in the first minutes of the scheduled start time on Monday evening.

Social media users trying to log on to the event, which was scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET, reported that they could not join X’s livestream platform. Shortly after 8:20 p.m., Musk blamed a cyberattack for the freezing screens.

The glitch was reminiscent of X’s technical disaster in 2023 that botched Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign launch announcement.
