    It couldn’t be any of the tens of thousands of workers he laid off from the US government, no way! It must’ve been Ukraine!

      What, one of the workers with full knowledge of the systems and previously unrestricted access due to oversight being cut?

      Nah, it was probably Ukraine.

    I mean, Dark Storm, a pro-palestine hacker group already bragged about it. IP’s mean nothing when dealing with DDoS attacks.

      Is that really how he’s decided to pinpoint the source? This guy really doesn’t know shit about shit.

        Yes, he sees some Ukrainian IP’s, then blames Ukraine to fit Krasnov’s narrative of Ukrainian interference. Remember Ukraine refused to give him dirt on Biden in 2020. This is personal vendetta and a way to empower Russian oligarchs.

    As if Musk would know the difference between a DDOS attack and faulty software.

      The last time Shitter got DDOSed, they did it themselves, with their own shit code.

        then there’s that time they had an outage and prolonged period of degraded service and availability because muskrat personally yanked critical infrastructure servers right out of a data center… because he was ‘right’ and the IT guys that set the shit up and maintained it were wrong.

      Bruh, DDOS requires SQL.
      Only losers think twitter uses SQL.
      (Memeing off of musks comments about the US governments use of SQL)

      I saw a report (can’t look it up now) that not all of their servers were behind their DDOS protection (Cloudflare) so they couldn’t properly mitigate the attack.

    Even if he were right, which he’s not, but even if he were right, that just means Ukraine is at war with Russia, and just DDOSed twitter. Which is a nazi hangout, and russian sympathizer social media.

    Even if elon were right, I STILL see Ukraine as being the good guys here, doing good things.

    Fuck you elon!
