Donald Trump's Live Broadcast On X Error, Elon Musk Claims Because Of DDoS

JAKARTA - Owner X, Elon Musk should have broadcasted live on Spaces with Donald Trump some time ago. However, the broadcast experienced repeated problems so that many people could not access it.

In a recent post, Musk claimed that the problem occurred due to a massive DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack that attacked the platform.

"There appears to be a massive DDOS attack on X. Trying to turn it off," the Tesla and Starlink boss said when he learned of the obstacles to his Spaces.

However, Musk continues his interview with Trump despite only fewer direct listeners. He also promised to post the results of the interview later.

With the constraints occurring, according to a user report citing Engadget, those who can join the stream are greeted with music for about half an hour followed by total silence for a few minutes.

"We will continue with fewer simultaneous listeners at 8:30 ET and then immediately post unedited audio afterward," Musk added.

This isn't the first time live broadcasts on Spaces have had technical problems. Last year, Ron DeSantis tried to announce his candidacy for president in a short time during a live conversation with Musk on X, but the broadcast was also delayed after several glitches.
