Live flop for Trump and Musk - competitor Harris watches and laughs at them

The West Live flop for Trump and Musk - competitor Harris watches and laughs at them Article by Marcel Görmann • 6 hours • 2 minutes reading time It was supposed to be a big show for the 2024 US election, but it turned out to be a PR flop! A widely announced live conversation between Donald Trump and billionaire and X boss Elon Musk was apparently massively disrupted by a cyber attack. The conversation started much later than announced at 8 p.m. US East Coast time. At first it was even unclear for around 40 minutes whether it would even start. Then there were no live images, only audio. Trump speaks of 70 million viewers - the truth is completely different Elon Musk justified the mega-glitch with a "massive DDoS attack on X", i.e. a cyber attack. The aim of a DDoS attack is to overload servers with a flood of requests. Donald Trump still believed he was speaking to a huge audience of millions. He congratulated Musk on 60 to 70 million listeners. The tile in X-Space showed 1.1 million live listeners at the time. The internet is amused by this. Harris mocks: "We won't be able to do a live stream in 2024" Competitor Kamala Harris also mocked with relish in a campaign statement: "Trump's entire campaign serves people like Elon Musk and himself - self-absorbed rich guys who will abandon the middle class and won't be able to offer a live stream in 2024." Elon Musk offers to work in government During the course of the conversation, Elon Musk even offered the presidential candidate he admires his work in the government. He would like to see a commission to curb government spending. "I would be happy to work on such a commission," Musk said in his application, which Trump promptly responded positively to and referred to his austerity measures in his company X.
