Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign bashed Elon Musk’s interview with former President Donald Trump that was hosted on X, The Platform Formerly Known as Twitter, issuing a statement that dunked on the two participants as “self-obsessed rich guys” who couldn’t run a livestream.
The chat between Musk and the ex-president got off to a late start, as many users were initially unable to tune in for over half an hour after the Space was supposed to open. The interview finally got started around 8:45 pm ET.
Musk claimed the problem was due to a “massive DDOS attack,” but the rest of Twitter/X — including Spaces — was showing normal functionality for users, and The Verge reported that several sources at X said that “there wasn’t actually a denial-of-service attack,” and there was a “99 percent” chance Musk was not telling the truth.
