Shortly after 8:20 p.m., Musk, the billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO, blamed a cyberattack for the freezing screens.

It could very much look like a DDOS attack if you legitimately gained large numbers of new users....like me, just to hear this. I mean between the threats from the UK and EU it just makes people want to hear it.
