Several Internet users have dubbed the interview as the “interview of the century”.
Former US President Donald Trump is interviewed by billionaire Elon Musk on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter). However, the interview was delayed by 40 minutes due to technical issues, with Musk acknowledging the problem. He said: “There appears to be a massive DDOS attack on X. We are working to stop it. Worst case scenario, we will continue with a reduced number of live listeners and post the conversation later.”
Several users were unable to log in, and soon “#crashed” and “DDOS” began trending on the microblogging platform. Meanwhile, X users took to the Internet and launched a meme party.
“The best thing about Twitter Spaces is how well it works,” said one user.

Another added: “I'm in Spaces. It hasn't started yet. It seems like the whole world is trying to get into these Spaces, so technical difficulties are to be expected.”

“The only site reliability engineer left at Twitter when Elon said he wanted to do another interview for a presidential candidate using Spaces,” one person wrote.

Someone wrote: “I was really hoping they were prepared for this one. Would have been a really good look for X. I'm definitely disappointed and I won't be listening to the rerun. Spaces just aren't special as reruns. They need to figure that out.”

“Oh yeah. It's hard to let 20 million plus in at once. Cry more. It's happening now and it's going smoothly,” someone said.
