Musk claims X being targeted in ‘massive cyberattack’ as service goes down

When you're hated and incompetent, blaming the people you hate for your incompetence is a convenient scapegoat.

I suspect X was down because they screwed something up internally. When you'll never be required to prove anything, you can scream you're being hacked / ddos'd til the cows come home and rubes will believe you.
