Musk: "A Large Organization or a Nation Is Involved... We Are Tracking It"
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, owns the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), which experienced temporary outages on the morning of the 10th (Eastern Time, US) across the United States and nearly all countries worldwide.
The internet monitoring site 'Downdetector' reported that users from most countries, including the US, the UK, France, India, Australia, Argentina, and Japan, submitted complaints about being unable to access the X service.
In the US, between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m., up to 20,000 users reported being unable to use the X service, and between 8 a.m. and noon, the number rose to a maximum of 40,000 users.
Japan also saw a similar pattern, with up to 70,000 and 40,000 reports submitted during similar time frames.
Bloomberg News reported that the X site was down twice on that day, each outage lasting several minutes before service was restored.
At 1:25 p.m. that day, CEO Musk posted on X, stating, "There was a large-scale cyberattack on X (still ongoing)," and explained, "We face attacks daily, but this time a lot of resources were mobilized."
He added, "A large, organized group or a nation is involved," and said, "We are tracking it."
