Someone tried to shut it down, they suffered DDOS attack, according to Musk. Delayed the interview by 30 mins and eventually went out audio only.

I listened to about an hour of it.

There was nothing amazing about it, but in conversation, I couldn’t hear any signs of his alleged cognitive decline. No pauses, no stutters, no loss of direction or train of thought. Musk did well do get a few words in here and there.

No, sorry, for those trying to push that particular narrative will have try something else.

I don’t think he’s necessarily lying if he’s using Iron Dome interchangeably with simply advanced anti-missile and anti-aircraft defence systems.

The Iron Dome meets a very specific requirement that it’s not clear anyone else would need. Who is likely to find themselves under frequent short range, limited warning rocket or missile attack from an aggressor that (ordinarily) they couldn’t just blow out of existence with their own military strength due to the densely populated areas they are operated from.

That said, you’d perhaps not rule out South Korea, the Saudis, or the smaller oil rich states in the Persian Gulf from developing more advanced systems than publicly stated in case things escalated in the region by dissident groups in Yemen, Oman or simply region wide tensions with Iran.

Edit: if he’s taken literally could it be secretly on Taiwan?

Biden can be quite lucid when in front of a teleprompter too.

Funny there was no video, I find it impossible to believe that this Billionaire tech genius couldn't have got the video to work if he'd really wanted it to. ;)

Not really, with such classics as “pause, repeat last sentence”

I don’t much about DDOS attacks, but they’re designed to overwhelm a site. There’s an argument his security team could and should have anticipated this, and have mitigations in hand.

But don’t drink the conspiracy kool aid, as some on here would say.

Did you fact check it?

Couple of stand out ones for me were worst inflation for 100 years and bacon being 5 times more expensive than when he was in office as well as over/ under estimating other things that suit his agenda like sea level rises and immigration

He's not a tech genius, he's a genius at seeing how well otuer people's ideas will do and marketing them amazingly

Well if they’re “stand outs”, he truly is the most dangerous man alive.

There’s also the small matter of him claiming there were 60 million people listening when the stream itself was showing 1.1 million.

Trump’s highly casual acquaintance with the truth is dangerous because he demonstrably lies and exaggerates all the time about anything and everything, even when it’s demonstrably false. Is that because he is in serious mental decline? Or perhaps because he’s speaking to a constituency that will believe him whenever he says anything, no matter how ludicrous? There is obvious danger in either of those scenarios.

Wonder if Elon is on a promise (of something/many things). Seem like Don might be a President he can easily manipulate for his own profit.

Apparently Donny has developed a new lisp. Minor stroke, or his teeth are falling out? Some dentist is going to cop it big time...

Thats true, but there are also ways to defend against them.
Lots of hosting sites and companies offer ddos protection systems. :angel:

Hypothetically, once Trump gets in who can hold anything over him?

Well if I am going to comment on the topic, I might as well be informed. Besides I had nothing better to do.

Even his opponents can’t deny he’s pure box office.
