Hey there, tech enthusiasts! It’s your buddy Nuked, here to bring you the latest scoop with a sprinkle of humor!

So, Elon Musk’s chat with former President Donald Trump on X kicked off in quite a chaotic manner. The much-anticipated interview was supposed to start at 8 PM ET on a Monday night, but guess what? It crashed and burned, delaying the start by a whopping 42 minutes!

Those lucky enough to sneak into the Space reported that, for about half an hour, they were treated to some lo-fi techno beats blaring from Trump’s account. Talk about an unexpected DJ set! Meanwhile, Musk chimed in after 18 minutes of waiting, claiming that X was facing a “massive DDOS attack,” which he said was the reason for the delay. However, everything else on X seemed to be running smoothly, leading some insiders to doubt his claim. One source even suggested there was a “99 percent” chance Elon was just pulling our leg.

In classic Musk fashion, he later tweeted that they had tested the system with 8 million concurrent listeners earlier that day. But when the interview finally got underway around 8:40 PM ET, there were only 915,000 tuning in. Quite the difference, huh?

He reiterated the DDOS story as soon as the conversation kicked off: “As this massive attack illustrates, there’s a lot of opposition to people just hearing what President Trump has to say.” Sounds like a plot twist worthy of a tech thriller!

This whole tech mishap felt eerily familiar, reminiscent of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s presidential announcement on X last year, which also stumbled out of the gate due to technical glitches. At that time, Musk blamed it on overloaded servers. Looks like history has a funny way of repeating itself in the world of tech!

And there you have it—another day in the wild world of tech and politics! Stay tuned for more updates and laughs—I’m here all week!
