Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They probably just cut server costs to the bone to save money and they can't handle the load. Since their live streaming probably never gets traffic otherwise.
A competent company of this size would have auto-scaling.
I don't think auto-scaling can scale to resources that don't exist. Besides, I'm not sure how many people with both the competence and the spine to advise Musk when he's doing A Stupid again still remain at the company.
Leverage cloud resources like AWS. These are solvable problems for a competent team.
Oh absolutely, provided you're versed enough to understand the resource limitations, the need to prepare scaling solutions and have the willingness to admit that your in-house resources might not be enough. I'm not confident Musk ticks any of these boxes, let alone all of them.
And a competent team can only do so much. He ripped out data center servers, against his competent sysadmins' advice.
Musk's in-house resources are enough except he fired them all.
That's what I was trying to allude to. Whoever is left is either not competent enough or unwilling to call him out (possibly because being employed is generally more important than being right).
On the other hand, it may be that whoever is left there is actively sabotaging these broadcasts. More power to them, if so.
AWS can scale quite a bit but they don't do it for free.
Given all the cuts I'm doubtful they're willing to pay the price
didn't musk cut a bunch of contracts for that sort of thing?
Competence is not a money maker!
Or welcomed by anything GOP
