As someone working at the NIH, today has given me more schadenfreude than I have ever experienced in my lifetime. Today's 14% drop, the X outage, cancelled starlink contracts, protests at dealerships - the wax on his wings cannot melt fast enough for me.

Musk on the X outage: >There was (still is) a massive cyberattack against X. >We get attacked every day, but this was done with a lot of resources.

  Elon Musk says a lot of things. Is it really a cyberattack, or is the site just experiencing an outage due to an over-worked and understaffed team who were told to move fast and break things?

    >is the site just experiencing an outage due to an over-worked and understaffed team who were told to move fast and break things? Doubt it. If anything they've shown to be a phenomenal team. I would believe the cyberattack claim.

      In what ways have they shown to be a phenomenal team? Genuinely curious. I've seen their embed break on pretty much every site that embeds Twitter feeds, accessibility of their site has taken a massive hit, Twitter's 2024 Q4 revenue is down to less than half of its 2021 Q4 peak,[0] and now this... Are you referring to any specific accomplishments? [0] https://www.businessofapps.com/data/twitter-statistics/ https://www.businessofapps.com/data/twitter-statistics/

        X has shipped way more new features on the past year than in the rest of its existence. Musk famously reduced head count by like ... 80%? To me, that speaks of a very capable team. But yeah, downvote this one as well, the truth is evident anyway, lol.

        "X has shipped way more new features on the past year than in the rest of its existence." This makes you sound like you live in Elon's alternate reality.

        lol, the last year on that list is mostly a pitiful collection of minor tweaks and “plans” to do stuff in the future. Any day now, I’m sure.

        Those look like mostly nonsense tweaks to put a "paywall"/"sign-in wall" on content. They have mostly made the service less useful to the world.

    Do you have any source at all for it being due to that? Musk's post was also retweeted by engineers working at X: https://x.com/yacineMTB https://x.com/yacineMTB It seems more likely that you made up your claim because you disagree with the website owner's politics.
    - HumblyTossed 2y ago
      At this point I would not trust a single engineer at X.
      - Dig1t 2y ago
        But like if you say you refuse to believe the owner of the company and everyone who works there aren’t you ignoring basically all primary sources? That seems like a pretty closed minded and bigoted way of thinking.

        Well, there was a time I believed Musk, I won't make that mistake again.

        When an entity has a long history of making shit up, it's entirely reasonable to assume that any future claims are equally made up.

        I don’t know, none of this looks like evidence to me, just a series of things he’s said that didn’t come true. I would interpret a lot of these as optimistic predictions that didn’t come true, not outright lies. A lie is something you say that you know is false. You can predict you’ll be able to do something, try and fail, and I would consider it a lie. You could also build a website listing tons of things he predicted that did actually come true. But honestly man whatever. I am trying to discuss in good faith and all that happens is downvotes into oblivion. I am trying to provide substantive answers and discussion in good faith. This site obviously does not allow for unpopular opinions. I just hope you know that you are not the good guys, you are not on the right side of history, and you are every bit as bigoted as the people you think you’re fighting against.

  Now he claims Ukraine doing it in an attempt to smear a country under severe distress. It was instantly debunked by security professionals, rather claiming USA, Vietnam, Brazil first and foremost which also sounds like a more probable trio than a state sponsored attack from a country desperate to regain American support. It was indeed probably rather a group; Dark Storm Team has already claimed responsibility.
  - thewinnie 2y ago
    Yeah, Ukrainians just have nothing to do except DDOS twitter. Ah, maybe caused Russia haven't fired ~200 drones and missiles today? Now it make sense

Feel you, but, drop in Tesla stock caused quite a chaos elsewhere. Triggering mechanisms put in place causing systemic risks to be re-evaluated and what not. Probably tax payers world-wide will feel the effects long term, I must think directly of pension funds (over)reacting. Almost end of the quarter, just before portfolio’s rebalance. Did anyone overinvest in specific FAANG, you know the situation: skeletons and closets..

  I agree economic downturns are painful for many - not saying I'm proud of the schadenfreude. Can't help it!

  After today's losses, TSLA is trading about 25% higher than it was this time last year. This should not be causing "chaos" or "systemic risks" even for people or funds heavily concentrated in TSLA.
