The long-awaited interview between former President Donald Trump and X owner Elon Musk left listeners waiting even longer.
Technical difficulties ended up taking over the spotlight as Trump’s “Space” crashed due to the number of X, formerly Twitter, users logging on to hear the interview.
Instead of hearing the interview, people were me with a four-word message — “This Space is unavailable.”
It remained unavailable for about 40 minutes.
In the meantime, Musk addressed the issue on X.
“There appears to be a massive DDOS attack on X. Working on shutting it down. Worst case, we will proceed with a smaller number of live listeners and post the conversation later,” Musk posted.
He then defended his social media platform by saying it was tested earlier.
Musk then added, “We will proceed with the smaller number of concurrent listeners at 8:30 ET and then post the unedited audio immediately thereafter.”
When the cobwebs cleared the the interview started, about 1 million X logged on.
In the meantime, both critics and supporters voiced their frustrations on X.
