“There appears to be a massive DDOS attack on 𝕏. Working on shutting it down,” said the X CEO on the social media platform.

“Worst case, we will proceed with a smaller number of live listeners and post the conversation later,” he added.
Providing an alternative, Musk said that the interview will be done with a smaller number of concurrent listeners and the “unedited” audio will be posted immediately thereafter.
