Miami: Ending months of speculation, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis finally launched his bid for the 2024 US presidential election on Twitter, but the live stream event was delayed following a technical glitch.
Wednesday’s livestream event was held on Twitter Spaces and hosted by the platform’s outgoing CEO Elon Musk and David Sacks — a tech entrepreneur and major political donor who contributed just over $70,000 to the 44-year-old Republican Governor’s political committee in 2021.
Twitter Spaces is a platform that allows “creators” to host live audio conversations that other users can join and engage with.
As more than 500,000 logged in on Wednesday to join the Governor declaring his bid for the White House, the audio was cut out even before he could say a word, reports the BBC.
Almost 20 minutes of glitches followed, before he could finally make his announcement.
