    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”.

    Just get “big balls” to fix it

      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.

    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?

      The answer is simple. MORE FIRINGS

        The firings will continue until quality improves

        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!

    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?

      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.

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

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

      The guy is 99% bullshit. This is like calling water wet.

    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.

    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.

    Will they blame the cyber attack on DEI or Biden?

    • Ghyste@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yes.

      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.
