Coordinated cyberattack cripples X, Elon Musk suspects involvement of large group or country

X just got hammered in a way we haven’t seen before. On Monday, the platform experienced a coordinated cyberattack so massive that it crippled services for hours. Elon Musk wasted no time, quickly confirming that the scale of the attack suggests it was likely carried out by either a powerful group or a nation-state. The implications of this are chilling.

Reports started pouring in around 5:41 a.m., then surged again at 10:11 a.m., and once more at 11:11 a.m. Over 150,000 users reported issues. It wasn’t a minor outage. Something big was happening behind the scenes. You don’t get this level of precision without serious resources backing it.

Elon’s statement raised the stakes even higher. A large group or a nation was behind it, he suggested. Think about that. Social media platforms get hit with attacks all the time, but this was something else. It was an attempt to destabilize one of the most influential communication platforms in the world.

Global social media censorship.

Truth takedown.

Unprecedented.

I suspected “double exes”: Some recent Ex-Fed employees who had been Ex-Twitter since Elon Musk fired them.

Musk says his engineers are working hard to trace the attack’s origin. Expect silence from the mainstream media on this. If a nation-state was behind it, don’t expect public accountability. The public isn’t supposed to know when information channels are being manipulated. But this was a warning shot. And it’s not the last one.

TicToc revenge?

The International Banksters are working to exert their goals of controlling the future actions and labor of mankind.

They're sitting on the bids in the stock market and bringing massive resources against X in an effort to intimidate them and bring public pressure against their actions.

We're in a war. Time to pick side.

I go to X for news and information. I can figure out myself what is true or not.

It’s probably Hamas, Iran and Russia teaming up on us because they hate our freedom.

We should nuke them all.

Couldn’t be those Leftists and their pet Democrats who always preach love and unity but practice hate could it?

In all seriousness, given how much social media supposedly helped forward the “Arab spring” a decade ago, in which despotic leaders were unfortunately replaced with other despotic leaders. I wouldn’t be surprised if X is hated on by current Muslim despot governments that have a growing discontented populace. Like Iran does.

Russia isn’t taking the hits.

The EU, Zelenskyy, Islam and Canada are.

Some ‘friends’ of the little ‘Z man’? Maybe China showing Selensky how powerful they are? And how badly they want the rare earths?
