PANews reported on August 13 that according to Cryptopolitan, Musk attributed the interruption of the interview with Trump to a DDoS attack, but some analysts believe that this may be due to a technical failure within the platform. Musk said that the interruption was caused by a distributed denial of service attack (DDOS), while opponents pointed out that such attacks usually affect the entire platform, not just one function. Analysts believe that the inability of the new infrastructure to cope with high-traffic events may be a more reasonable explanation.
