A much-touted interview between former President Donald Trump and X owner Elon Musk got off to a rocky start Monday night after a technical delay before going into politics as usual.
A much-touted interview between former President Donald Trump and X owner Elon Musk got off to a late start on Monday after a lengthy technical delay that both men spun, without evidence, as an effort to silence them.
The conversation did not have a smooth start. As people tried to tune in, many were unable to, with an X message stating that the Spaces audio feed was unavailable. It finally began about 40 minutes later than advertised. Musk blamed a cyberattack, but he has not provided any evidence to support that, and the rest of the website appeared to be operating normally.
The hiccups were reminiscent of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s botched campaign rollout on X, then known as Twitter, last year, which was plagued with technical glitches and abruptly ended after 20 minutes.
