Trump and Musk LIVE: X interview turns into a technical HORROR SHOW as audio stream fails to load – Elon claims cyber attack after leaving ex-president high and dry

The highly anticipated stream was scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET, but as millions of people waited to watch, a blank page appeared on the Spaces screen on Musk’s social media platform.
Musk quickly announced that X had been the victim of a cyberattack and promised that the show would go ahead with a smaller audience.
