Interesting hypothesis, any corroboration from a reputable source?

Edit Hey! Look at that: https://www.syracuse.com/us-news/2025/03/x-outage-hacker-gro...

Nice joke, but on a serious note I can totally see Elon being told this, or hallucinating this, but I'm not particularly convinced that this actually happened. Waiting for third party cybersec firms.

Also I just saw a screenshot that indicated Twitter is still fronted by Cloudflare (I honestly thought that was a temporary measure to bypass the Brazil ban [1]), and now I believe this even less [0].

IIRC they only routed LATAM traffic through Cloudflare before, but it looks like they're using CF everywhere now.

Yeah, I'm not going to rule out that they migrated /to/ mitigate a cyberattack, but again, holding out for third parties here.

Who would corroborate a cyber attack like that?

Repeating the original thread source is not corroboration from another source, reputable or otherwise.

Why would a prominent member of a government administration with a central narrative of being besieged by (particularly internal) enemies which necessitates taking extreme action to liberare the country lie about a large scale attack directed at one of the things most publicly associated with them?

The reasons are quite obvious.
