Elon Musk Confirms Cyberattack Disrupting X Platform
The X platform suffered a major cyberattack on March 10, leading to more than 33,000 outage reports on Downdetector. In response to online speculation, Elon Musk confirmed the attack, suggesting it may be linked to other recent disruptions targeting his business ventures, including Tesla store vandalism and anti-DOGE protests.
Political Fallout and Targeted Attacks on Tesla
Recent reports indicate that at least 10 Tesla stores have been vandalized, potentially due to Musk’s ties to the Trump administration. These incidents are unfolding against the backdrop of rising political tensions surrounding his leadership of DOGE, a government agency dedicated to cutting wasteful spending.\
DOGE’s Fiscal Policies and SEC Backlash
Since taking charge of DOGE, Musk has claimed the agency saved $105 billion through cost-cutting initiatives. Now, DOGE has shifted its focus to the SEC, encouraging the public to report inefficiencies within the regulator. With Trump’s administration in power, changes to SEC policies implemented under Gary Gensler’s leadership are widely expected.
As cybersecurity concerns grow, the attack on X underscores the challenges Musk faces in both the political and financial sectors.
