Elon Musk’s highly anticipated interview with former President Donald Trump got underway after a 40-minute delay caused by technical glitches on X’s Spaces platform. Originally scheduled to start at 8 pm EDT, the interview was delayed due to what Musk later described as a significant denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on the platform.
A DDoS attack, which is a federal criminal offence, involves overwhelming a website with excessive data to render it inaccessible. Musk mentioned this issue 18 minutes into the delayed interview, posting on X that the platform was experiencing what he called a “massive” DDoS attack.
