23 favourite Bluesky reactions to the disastrous outages plaguing X
Despite being the richest man in the world (which may not be accurate by the end of the day), this hasn’t been Elon Musk‘s best week – and it’s only Tuesday.
Tesla’s share prices have been dropping for months, but Monday saw more than 13% wiped off their value in a day, and the downward trajectory seems to be continuing. As if that weren’t enough to deal with, the platform formerly known as Twitter – and still called Twitter by most people, but now officially named X – spent much of Monday in a state of collapse.

There was even less credibility for Elon Musk’s unsupported accusation that Ukraine was behind the outage.

Maybe X is running on Tesla batteries.

Twitter dot com is down.
And naturally the child who runs it is blaming everyone apart from himself… you know the guy who sacked everyone

So Hillary did the cyber attack on Twitter right?

If Musk and his Technoboyz can't stop a cyber attack at X, maybe they shouldn't have access to our Social Security? Just brainstorming.

Elon wreck Twitter

I didn’t even notice X had been down because it’s an unusable festering cesspit.
It’s like being “alerted” to a sewage plant being sealed off.
Like “oh… no?”

Can’t believe Twitter keeps crashing despite Elon hiring the best 19-year-old interns that racism has to offer

Twitter is down. Tesla stock is plummeting. SpaceX’s rocket imploded.
All owned by the same guy who’s now in charge of our federal government.

I would not be surprised if it's independently confirmed that the attack is largely from Russia.
Unrelated the people fired involved in cyber warfare defence against Russia have been told to stand down.
