I mean, they’re being DDOSed right now. But yeah, he fired anyone who would know how to mitigate a DDOS attack.
He can literally go and hire cloudflare to come in and help him fix it.
But I'm sure he needs someone experienced enough to manage that project.
I wonder if, in his infinite costcutting wisdom, he removed "redundancies" in the twitter stack that wouldve helped it better withstand cyberattacks.
Didn’t trump shut down cybercrime investigations?
only against russia.
All the more reason for russia to try a cyberattack?
I was coming on this thread to say "Anonymous better claim this and come out of stasis..."
Your comment made my day!
Did they tho? I don't see anything on the site that claims this attack
"they will be removed"
🐸
Most of the people involved in that cyberattack are wearing thigh high socks and cat ear headphones, and they’re much cooler than Musk would ever be.
What is "priaprism"?
I'll take "PP WORDS" for 600, Alex.
elons botched surgery prevents him from getting an erection.
Having a janky wang doesn’t make Musk uncool in and of itself, lots of janky wang-havers are cool.
His insecurity about it, publicly, deprives him of any coolosity he ever could have had.
He is a man without potential or love.
The joke started out in my head as "stop, I can only get so hard!" And then I classed it up with medical terminology.
priaprism
I had to look this up, and wow, the image on the Wikipedia article for priaprism is... well, it's something.
Isn't that the same picture they used for the article on Biggus Dickus?
One hour too late. Smh
He in general underperforms in the coolness department. I have no interest in his man-noodle.
The attack started when Musk acquired Twitter and laid off everyone who wasn't an asshole.
twitter still has 28,000 users? and they're active enough to report the outage?
Good thing the US is lowering its cybersecurity forces. 🤦
Where do i sign up and help fight the Musk troll..
Good 😎
Musk right now...
I hope that there are more to come;-))
Why is anyone even still using that product?
It's a propaganda engine for propaganda consumers.
Twitter as run by Musk— There has never been a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Big oh no anyway vibes.
I never noticed until this picture how much X looks like two swords crossed. Hmmm.
It would be best if it does not come back up.
Must be the great hacker collective: N_competence
Edit: ~~Well, butter my buns and call me a biscuit. It seems like he might not’ve been lying on this one account.~~ Never mind. Looks like he is lying again.
He's blaming it on Ukraine which sounds like a false flag. He'll use this as the reason he has to cut off Starlink to the country.
Ahh Fuck
Tragic. Just tragic.
Oh no... anyway...
Oh goody, Anon must be back.
Lmao good thing your boys got their hands on sensitive shit, huh?
Fucking amateur hour.
Exactly. Like toddlers with hand guns.
