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".

[-] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 91 points 2 months ago

Just get "big balls" to fix it

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 months ago

Your reply got hacked by the period boys.

[-] mesamunefire@piefed.social 64 points 2 months ago

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?

[-] roz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 months ago

The answer is simple. MORE FIRINGS

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 months ago

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!

[-] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

The firings will continue until quality improves

[-] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 46 points 2 months ago

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?

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 months ago

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.

Quite literally my response when I walked past the TV with news about it, lol

[-] nodiratime@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Will someone please think of the Nazis 🥹?

[-] singletona@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

I am. I have the following card to give them.

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 37 points 2 months ago

So he’s not smart enough to prevent it.

[-] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

And probably fired the people who were working on preventing this

[-] VeryInterestingTable@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 2 months ago

Is there.. is there a go fund me the attackers? Asking for my cousin’s ex girlfriend’s dog

[-] Cephiroth@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

And he wants to make a payment system to rival the likes of Venmo et. al.?? LOL.

[-] ArghlBarghlFooFera@feddit.org 26 points 2 months ago

He's already spinning some yarn that it was Ukraine. I call bullshit.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 22 points 2 months ago

(us giving energy to Anonymous)

[-] singletona@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

I agree. Musk has been attacking twitter's infrastructure and employees since the purchase.

[-] zarathustra0@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

It's not massive, it's just average sized.

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

That's not what she said.

[-] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Well NOW how are nazis supposed to be publically racist?

[-] Gigameister@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Guy took his eye off da ballz

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago

I blame it on Musks decisions.

[-] DogEarBookmark@reddthat.com 9 points 2 months ago

X hurt itself on confusion

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I hope he's right

[-] PeteWheeler@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] grumpo_potamus@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

...and nothing of value was lost

[-] regrub@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Will they blame the cyber attack on DEI or Biden?

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Viri4thus@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

It must have been the Russians /s
