- every other spaces event that was run at the same time was unaffected. - no other part of the website was impacted in any way whatsoever.

Aren’t these last two an argument FOR a ddos attack? It seems reasonable to assume we’re there a ddos attack at that time it would be against the Elon/Trump stream explicitly.

I’d like to see an explanation of how that is even possible to get that level of targeting without knowing the connection details of either Elon or Trump. The rest of the attack surface is surely shared infrastructure with the rest of the website.

So no I think it was just a straight up technical failure on their end.
