He's trying to blame Ukraine for the attack now. Not like they have anything else to focus on right now, right?
I don’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth. but if they were ukrainian ips that would be an amazing troll, assuming they’d be using vpns of course.
He's been lying for years and still so many believe what he says. In any case, any group doing this would be at the very least spoofing their IP's anyway wouldn't they?
If you noticed this outage, it’s because you’re on Xitter and part of the problem.
Technically if you noticed the problem, you were part of the DDOS and were part of the attack.
But seriously, get of of X if you're on it.
I'm sure his very stable highschool geniuses are well equipped to handle a multi pronged DDOS
Incompetence does not equal malfeasance.
Generator ran out of fuel but Elonazi fired the guy(s) that knew how to refuel the thing...
😂 🤣
EfFicieNcy!
Xitter was full!
Couldn't happen to a nicer business.
When you're hated and incompetent, blaming the people you hate for your incompetence is a convenient scapegoat.
I suspect X was down because they screwed something up internally. When you'll never be required to prove anything, you can scream you're being hacked / ddos'd til the cows come home and rubes will believe you.
And how many of your network infrastructure experts, whose job it is to prevent this kinda thing, did you fire, Elon?
I'm sure Grok will have the issue sorted shortly.
lol
Ohhh... poor baby.
We never have any issues, why do we keep all these IT people around? Let's get rid of them.
Wish they kept up with the operation for several days so twitter stops being used
