Live Stream Chaos: Elon Musk-Donald Trump Interview Crashes on X

In a highly anticipated event, the live-streamed interview between tech mogul Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump faced significant technical difficulties on the platform X. Scheduled to commence at 5 p.m., the interview was set to be an unscripted, no-limits conversation that had garnered massive attention. However, viewers tuning in were met with disappointment as the stream crashed, leaving over 11 million people unable to watch the event live.

This isn't the first time X has faced such issues. A similar incident occurred during Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' campaign launch on the same platform, which also faced major technical problems. Despite Elon Musk's efforts to stress-test the site in preparation for this high-profile interview, the platform struggled to handle the overwhelming traffic.

Interestingly, while the video stream failed, an audio version of the interview began to work bit by bit. This partial success suggests that the platform's infrastructure might need further enhancement to support such large-scale events seamlessly. Elon Musk, known for making bold moves—including firing a significant portion of his IT department when he first took over X—now faces scrutiny over the platform's reliability.

The interview was a significant moment as Donald Trump, the GOP nominee, was expected to share unfiltered thoughts and insights. The technical hiccup has left many wondering about the future of live-streamed events on X.
