    Most likely a dev did not want to get fired so he put the blame on a unknown bad actor instead and musk believed, lol

      Or Musk has sycophants running IT who can’t tell the difference.

      “So I’ve got this script that will make 20k simultaneous requests and average the response time to determine if we’re being DDOSed. Someone’s got it out for us because there’s a short DDOS attack every single time I run the script! These guys are good, whoever they are! I’ll trace some IPs… Oh shit. The DDOS is coming from inside the building! Better fire some more people. And don’t worry, I’ll be running my DDOS detector script a lot for the interview to make sure we don’t get attacked!”
