Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, was knocked offline early Monday in what he described as a “massive cyberattack.” With Musk’s ongoing war against government corruption and censorship, speculation is growing over who might be behind the attack.
Musk confirmed on X that the attack was highly organized and well-funded, possibly involving a foreign government or a large coordinated network. Downdetector reported outages in major cities across the U.S., as well as Europe and Asia.
This comes as Musk continues to challenge the Deep State and its allies. His work with President Donald Trump has led to major shake-ups in Washington, including a crackdown on USAID’s shadowy funding operations and an investigation into the Department of Defense’s unchecked spending. His push to audit Fort Knox has only added to the list of powerful interests who want him silenced.
Musk’s troubles extend beyond X. His Tesla showrooms have been vandalized, left-wing activists have launched boycotts against his businesses, and media outlets have ramped up their attacks. Reports suggest intelligence agencies are fueling the anti-Musk movement, orchestrating online campaigns to discredit him.
Governments around the world have demanded Musk reintroduce censorship on X, a request he has flatly denied. Now, with the platform under siege, the question remains: is this attack an attempt to force him into compliance?
