Elon Musk claimed that a large-scale distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack disrupted his scheduled conversation with former President Donald Trump on X, the platform previously known as Twitter. The discussion was set for 8 pm EDT (1 am BST), but many users experienced issues accessing the platform, with some seeing a “not available” message.
Elon Musk is facing a US$1.5 million (£1.2 million) lawsuit from former CNN news anchor Don Lemon over his cancelled talk show on social media X. Lemon launched a range of claims against Musk in a California superior court filing on Thursday, including alleging fraud, misappropriation of his name and a breach of contract.
