Elon Musk Acknowledges Major Cyberattack on X Platform
A large-scale cyberattack hit the X platform on March 10, with Downdetector recording over 33,000 outage reports. Elon Musk confirmed the attack in response to speculation linking it to broader threats against his business ventures, including Tesla store vandalism and protests targeting the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Political Tensions and Attacks on Tesla
According to NBC News, at least 10 Tesla stores and vehicles have been damaged, allegedly due to Musk’s involvement with the Trump administration. These incidents are occurring amid increasing political friction over Musk’s role in DOGE, an agency focused on cutting government expenses.
DOGE’s Budget Cuts and SEC Investigation
Musk claims that since he took charge of DOGE, the department has saved taxpayers $105 billion across more than 10,000 initiatives. The agency has now turned its attention to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), calling for public reports on inefficiencies and mismanagement. Under Trump’s leadership, the SEC is expected to roll back certain regulations implemented during Gary Gensler’s tenure.
The attack on X highlights growing cybersecurity concerns as Musk’s businesses and government-linked initiatives face increasing political and economic scrutiny.
