Overwhelms server with inquiries where it won't respond to legitimate requests...In simple terms, robots have crowded a door leading into a building and blocking real people from entering.

I doubt Trump is going to say almost anything about Iran tonight, so I doubt it.

I suspected as much. Just be patient. Remember, the entire establishment wants both Trump and Musk destroyed.

No matter what your system is the power of a nation is more powerful

Only a very few entities exist that can DDOS a site as large as Twitter.

I'd say Israel probably also has the capacity to do this, however, in this list of 4, there's only one suspect that would have any actual motive at silencing Trump.

Why does this never happen like during the Super Bowl or World Cup Final though?

Seems lame to not have a backup plan like to have Fox News on standby

Musk wanted the clicks. He should have anticipated this.

The longer it takes to fix it, the larger the entity that caused it. Most organizations or hacker groups only have so many computers or servers to put to the task. Is usually pretty easy to isolate the traffic and block it at your firewall or just block those IPS.

This is a bad look on Elon and Twitter. He should’ve been prepared for this. Probably an inside job.

The government has total control of the internet. At least to the extent that they can disrupt what they want, when they want.

This event was an obvious target. Now they will turn it into negative headlines for Trump.

Trump should have not agreed to this live.

I would think Elon has the technology to somehow track down the sources of the attack.

If elon can't right the ship.. then it's basically a nation level entity attacking him, imo. And it damn sure isn't iran.
