Elon Say X Got Spun On—Blamin' Ukraine for Cyber Hit

Musk woke up Monday talkin’ ‘bout his lil’ bird app got hit with a cyberattack, and he pointin’ fingers at Ukraine. “We ain’t even sure what really happened,” he told Fox Business, but he swear up and down that hackers from that side tried to take X down.

Now, bruh ain’t drop no receipts—no proof, no specifics, not even a lil’ hint if he think the Ukrainian gov’t behind it. And real ones know IP addresses can get spoofed easy, so this whole thing might not even be what he say it is. But that ain’t stop him from jumpin’ on X, talkin’ ‘bout it was “a large, coordinated group and/or a country.” Then he liked a post claimin’ somebody tryna shut him up. Paranoid much?

The mess started ‘round 6 a.m. ET, had over 20,000 folks complaining, cooled off for a sec, then came back harder at 10 a.m. with nearly 40K outages. By the afternoon, things started smoothin’ out. But it wasn’t just a U.S. thing—people worldwide was strugglin’ to load X. Around 4 p.m. ET, Musk went back on Fox talkin’ ‘bout the app was back up.

Cybersecurity experts say it’s way too early to say if this was even an attack or just another one of X’s regular malfunctions. And let’s be real—Musk got a habit of blamin’ glitches on cyberattacks. Remember when that convo with Trump on X ran 42 minutes late? Musk called that a “100% probability” of an attack. Same thing when DeSantis tried to announce his campaign in ‘23—X fumbled the bag then too.

Musk been runnin’ X like a demolition site since he bought it. Fired the execs, axed half the workforce in days, and now 80% of them folks gone. The app stay breakin’, but every time it glitch, it’s suddenly some big cyber conspiracy?

Meanwhile, bruh havin’ a rough Monday all around—Tesla stock took a 15% nosedive, erasin’ everything it gained since Trump got back in office. Tough times.
