Elon Musk’s Excuse Doesn’t Hold Up

Eighteen minutes after his conversation with Donald Trump was supposed to begin, Elon Musk claimed that X was the target of a “massive DDOS attack” that had made it impossible for the Space to proceed as planned, The Verge reports.

The rest of X appeared to be working normally, however, and a source at the company confirmed that there wasn’t actually a denial-of-service attack.

Another X staffer said there was a “99 percent” chance Elon was lying about an attack.
