Teslas burning, now X under siege by a DoS attack? (Just updated — yes. It is)
/
Access to X/Grok’s been spotty all morning and this afternoon; it generated the picture of the wagon train I posted below, but wouldn’t cooperate before that and it’s down now. I’m not ordinarily a tinfoil hat wearer, although the past decade has nudged me in that direction, but given the frenzy being stirred by DOGE, I wonder about the timing here.
X has been hit by a "massive cyber attack", according to Elon Musk. The boss of the social media platform said the attack was carried out "with a lot of resources". Mr Musk claimed that either a large coordinated group or a country was involved, or both.27 mins ago
Another Update: With X down, links to its posts are inaccessible, so here are some snapshots that have caught my attention. I’ll add that I was asked to try to help a 40-year-old man living in a sober house recently, so I took him out for coffee and spent an hour listening to him rant. His story was that he’d spent the past decade living and “protesting” (rioting) in various areas of the country, getting by on the occasional odd-job, but mostly from small allowances paid by unknown-to-him funding sources to the assorted groups he shared quarters with. He’d been arrested in “at least ten states”, he claimed, including Georgia, where he’d spent months attempting to burn down the new Atlanta police and fire training complex. I told him that, so far as I could see, his “plan for living” had produced nothing except a unemployed, penniless middle-aged man with a drug and alcohol problem living in a half-way house, and suggested that if he wanted to continue that way, as he insisted he did, I had nothing to offer him. I paid for our coffee we left, and went our separate ways.
Anway, here are those pictures:
Given the murder - to the approval of a majority of Democrats — of insurance executive brian thompsson, this is hardly a harmless goad.
