Elon's blaming DDOS. You know I heard that the people who bulit Twitter did a great job figuring out how to handle those. Gosh, I wonder what ever happened them?
- Everyone knows that the best way to address DDOS is to unplug random servers until things either stop working, or start working again.
  
  Don't you unplug it and plug it back in again?
  
  I unplug my router so the IP changes and hacker can no longer find me. Check & Mate.
- DDOS on what exactly?
  
  Which service? Graphql?
