He blamed the difficulties on a distributed denial-of-service attack

AKA musk shut down too many services and couldn’t handle the load from regular viewers.

Because he doesn’t understand technology anywhere close to what he claims

But it wasn't a DDoS, Twitter kept on chugging along, it's just the stream that was broken.

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 53 points 3 months ago

Who could have possibly predicted that firing all of your senior experienced technical engineers could lead to technical problems?!

[-] HenchmanNumber3@lemm.ee 50 points 3 months ago

The people who could have possibly predicted that were also fired.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

We apologize again for the technical difficulties. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

I believe he kept the janitorial staff, and that's who's running the show. Cost saving measures and all that

AND IT WILL KEEP HAPPENING UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES. - musk

"My interview with Elon was the biggest interview ever. Many people were watching, so many people that X, it was to be called twitter, but not anymore, its now called X, couldn't even handle all the viewers.
A lot of people still call it Twitter nowadays, have you ever noticed? But they should call it X, as it is now called X, but they still call it twitter which is not accurate.
My good friend Elton Music, who is the owner of X, which was called twitter in the past, and he has tremendous infrastructure. Such great infrastructure over there, genius mind my friend Ellen Must has, but it still couldn't handle all the viewers wanting to watch Eileen interview me."

The sad thing is I have no idea if this is real because it sounds so real.

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 32 points 3 months ago

Just like the last big stream he did lol. Go figure when everyone who can leave your sinking ship does, you run into problems.

[-] rickdg@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago

There’s currently no infrastructure that can broadcast that much ego.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

The guy who "runs" Space X can't even get his Spaces shit together on X?

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

"funds" not "runs"

[-] Phegan@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

He doesn't even fund them, they pay him to be the face of the company. He neither runs or funds.

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Elon’s a welfare queen. All his projects are run with government handouts

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 23 points 3 months ago

Who could have predicted that getting rid of all the Twitter engineers would lead to technical problems.

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 13 points 3 months ago

Saw technical issues and thought it was another Cybertruck article

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 11 points 3 months ago

not news that guy was incoherent

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 4 points 3 months ago

It's a streaming platform now? Are people going to start streaming there instead of twitch?

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

Only if you don't want more than ten people at a time watching your stream.

[-] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

That actually kinda sounds like my speed

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

Five of them will be Nazis

[-] willya@lemmyf.uk 1 points 3 months ago

This sounds like a line straight from trump.

[-] crimsonpoodle@pawb.social 2 points 3 months ago

Has anyone been able to find the actual audio? I suspect given the participants it’s probably a cringe-fest but it’s disturbing to me that the news is jumping all over it to the point where it’s difficult to actually find the source and listen and do you own analysis.

This seems to be an ongoing problem not just for this story; I’m constantly having to dig to actually find the thing that every news channels talking heads is doing their own half-baked analysis on.
