I actually don't think it's a big deal that there were technical problems, there were millions of people trying to get in at the same time. What I don't like is him lying that it was a ddos attack.
What's weird to me though, is if they were just overloaded at the time, wouldn't it make a lot more sense to just say that and sound like you're super popular and in demand, than to make up some fake attack? I guess persecution complex beats ego stroking.
It’s perfect for him and Trump: they’re victims, for one, and the “radical left” is out to silence their critical message.
This radical left seems to be a lot more competent. Maybe we should have them running things.
I can imagine the people responsible for the tech lied to Elon that it was an attack, so he doesn't fire them
