It was meant to be Elon Musk and Donald Trump This Tuesday, at 2 a.m. Spanish time (8 p.m. Eastern time), they would broadcast live on X (Twitter). The broadcast promised to be a litmus test for the social network capacity acquired by the businessman of South African origin for 44 billion dollars, and a boost for the Republican presidential candidate, who has not been active on the microblogging network for some time.
However, the live broadcast never started. At the time of writing, the X Space that was supposed to show the conversation between Musk and Trump is not available. A purple window appears, leaving many questions behind. You don’t know exactly what happened, but there’s a possibility that it’s a technical issue. It’s strange that a long-awaited event has been postponed, and it’s somewhat damaging to X’s reputation.
Musk says it was a DDoS attack
When we try to watch the broadcast via the participants’ profiles, we encounter a message saying “Details not available”. The space also does not work when clicking on the profile photo of the user accounts. Almost 20 minutes after the scheduled start time for the live broadcast to begin, Musk suggested: “It seems Massive DDOS attack on X“and said they were trying to resolve the issue.
One of the alternatives suggested by the businessman is to launch a live broadcast with the Republican presidential candidate for a limited number of viewers. This would reduce the pressure on X’s infrastructure and allow the transmission to begin. As announced, the test will take place starting at 8:30 AM ET (2:30 AM Spanish Peninsular Time). If this initiative is successful, the interview will be broadcast unedited after it is completed.
The businessman had been running various tests while playing ‘Diablo IV’ over the last few hours. prepare for transmissionIncluding “a test with 8 million simultaneous listeners today”. For now, we have to wait to find out whether the Space, where the Tesla CEO and the former US president will speak, will work as expected with the measures implemented to address the problems.
