X is reeling this morning after its website crashed last night due to an orchestrated attack on its servers during its Elon / Trump interview. A spokesperson for X said that the attack seemed to have been orchestrated by a foreign state actor. “We are currently looking for a group of roughly 900,000 people who could have carried out such an attack to silence Trump.” The spokesperson said it was clearly a foreign nation. “X couldn’t possibly have failed due to too many concurrent listeners. According to our latest figures, there are only 10 actual people who aren’t bots that still use X, 5 of which are confused and still think it’s Twitter.” Tech experts said that they had never seen such a sophisticated and well organised attempt to flood the servers, using millions of different points of attack. The experts say the attack was highly organised. “In order to get millions of computers to participate at the same time, the perpetrators harnessed social media to encourage people to flood the servers, and overload the website. This was sophisticated stuff.” “They announced their attack day months ago, and then worked methodically to make sure everyone remembered the attack date.” “The perpetrators must have known that no computer server can withstand the load of an entire nation trying to access the same website at the same time on the same day.” —

Volkswagen got all the flack because they were the first to get caught. Subsequent independent testing revealed that basically all manufacturers cheated their emissions, and actually to a much larger degree than Volkswagen.
