Musk calls it a "massive cyber attack".
I call it "systemic infrastructure and personnel losses caused by the malignant narcissistic man-child who is running the company into the ground".

Just get "big balls" to fix it
It's probably.some of his enemies that are part of it.
There's a good article out there about a thing called com. A haven for.hackers of the criminal variety. He was not in good standing.
Your reply got hacked by the period boys.
If only he didn't get rid of all the senior engineers that worked on the platform.
How is he going to be president and keep Twitter up and running at the same time?
The answer is simple. MORE FIRINGS
The firings will continue until quality improves
That's a pretty good idea. Musk is a fan of Roman history. Do a Decimation Elon! Fire every 10th developer! That'll bring the system back up!
X's official support channel, which has been dormant since August, has so far remained silent on the outage, but one user asked Grok—X's chatbot that provides AI summaries of news—what was going on, and the chatbot echoed suspicions about the DDOS attack while raising other theories.
That's not how LLMs work... Why is Ars endorsing that brain-rot?
Also the source is "one user".
but one user asked their Grandfather -- who only get their news from Facebook -- what was going on, and the relative echoed conspiracies about moon creatures attacking with brainwaves.
That's the same level of journalism going on here.
It is when it comes to Twitter. They've tinkered with Grok to block reality to better suit whatever Musk believes is true.
That's probably the closest to support/press there is from that shit hole.
So he’s not smart enough to prevent it.
And probably fired the people who were working on preventing this
His best friend would even say he was asking for it.
Maybe he should sign a deal with the people who hacked his platform and give them about 20-30% of the companies shares? Apparently that's why people need to do when under attack, give the aggressor whatever they are asking for.
Oh no! Anyway...
Quite literally my response when I walked past the TV with news about it, lol
Will someone please think of the Nazis 🥹?
I am. I have the following card to give them.
Is there.. is there a go fund me the attackers? Asking for my cousin’s ex girlfriend’s dog
And he wants to make a payment system to rival the likes of Venmo et. al.?? LOL.
He's already spinning some yarn that it was Ukraine. I call bullshit.
The guy is 99% bullshit. This is like calling water wet.
Of course it's bullshit. Everything these fuckers say is a lie. I think they'll get an aneurysm if they ever told something objectively true.
(us giving energy to Anonymous)
I agree. Musk has been attacking twitter's infrastructure and employees since the purchase.
It's not massive, it's just average sized.
That's not what she said.
Whatever effort it took, whatever the cost: it's worth bringing Twitter down just to take away Elon's ability to tweet, even if it's only temporary. I'm sure the tantrums must be epic.
Well NOW how are nazis supposed to be publically racist?
Guy took his eye off da ballz
I blame it on Musks decisions.
X hurt itself on confusion
I hope he's right
Reddit told me Anonymous is taking credit for it. Wonder if it is true or not. Either way, I do hope this is an attack on him.
...and nothing of value was lost
Will they blame the cyber attack on DEI or Biden?
Yes.
Ukraine 🫣
That Biden guy has a lot of free time on his hands now. I bet he's built some gnarly botnets. Someone should look into this.
It must have been the Russians /s
