Spaces live broadcast, which Elon Musk and Donald Trump will host on X and attracted great attention, crashed unexpectedly. This special event, scheduled to take place on Monday, was supposed to start at 17:00, but users encountered error messages when they tried to enter the broadcast room at the specified time.
There is a claim that there was a DDOS attack on Elon Musk’s Spaces broadcast with Donald Trump
This event, planned to celebrate Donald Trump’s return to the X platform and to have a conversation with Elon Musk, was awaited with great curiosity after Trump shared on the platform for the first time after a long time. Trump announced the Spaces event and campaign ads with various posts during the day. However, the broadcast, which was supposed to start at 17:00, started with a delay of 42 minutes due to technical difficulties.
When users try to join the broadcast, “This Space does not exist.” They received an error message saying: This caused great disappointment among Musk and Trump’s fans. Elon Musk stated that the reason for the late start of the broadcast was a major DDOS attack on X. DDOS attacks are known as cyber attacks that make an internet server inaccessible by overwhelming it with artificial traffic flow.
Musk claimed that the attacks were caused by opposition
Musk said in his statement at the beginning of the broadcast: “This massive attack shows a huge opposition to people just hearing what President Trump has to say.” He evaluated the situation by saying. He also stated that the tests conducted with the participation of 8 million listeners during the day were successful.
By the way, this wasn’t the first major technical problem experienced on Spaces. Previously, similar technical glitches occurred during Ron DeSantis’ 2024 campaign announcement in May 2023. This event, hosted by Elon Musk and David Sacks, was interrupted during the Twitter Space session.
