Massive DDOS Attack Disrupts Elon Musk's Live Stream with Donald Trump
Massive DDOS Challenges for Streaming Services
On Monday, during a highly anticipated live stream featuring Elon Musk and Donald Trump, X's streaming capabilities fell apart, leading Musk to assert that a massive DDOS attack was to blame. He emphasized that prior tests handled up to 8 million concurrent listeners, but the actual event caused numerous failures.
Stream Failures Not New
This isn't the first time a major live stream on X experienced technical setbacks. Previously, Ron DeSantis faced similar issues during his presidential announcement on the platform. Musk indicated that the technical failures stem from longstanding complications within X's infrastructure. While only parts of their system were targeted, the question remains on how broader management will address such vulnerabilities in the future.
