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].

Who would corroborate a cyber attack like that?
