+ The failure to launch of Elon Musk's planned audio live stream on X with former President Donald Trump quickly became the subject of online mockery on the very same social platform, including by the official campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. +

+
+
+
+
+
+
+

+ "BREAKING: Twitter," the pro-Harris account @harris_wins posted about 20 minutes after the stream was supposed to start. +

+

+ While Musk claimed the malfunction was due to a massive denial-of-service attack, other prominent X users weren’t so sure. +

+
+ +
+

+ “so the guy who makes cars that randomly crash and burst into flames is interviewing Donald Trump, and the interview crashed and burst into flames?” wrote self-described "internet loudmouth" Jeff Tiedrich. “holy s---, how did we Nazi this coming.” +

+ “LOL the Elon-Trump space is broken no one can get in apparently,” wrote professor and attorney Seth Abramson. “This app is a flaming poop salad.” +

+ “I'm in the historic Musk Trump twitter space and all you can hear is heavy breathing and the occasional fart,” quipped Cyanide and Happiness co-creator Rob DenBleyker. +

+

+ Novelist Paul Rudnick pondered if the interview crashed because “Trump kept talking into the remote,” or “Elon got distracted by a squirrel.”
