Cyberattack on X : Elon Musk Call-out Ukraine

Elon Musk has sensationally revealed that the massive cyberattack that crippled his social media platform, X, on Monday may have originated from Ukraine. The billionaire’s revelation came after repeated glitches left the site inaccessible to users worldwide for much of the day.

In an interview with Fox Business Network, Musk admitted that the exact cause of the outage remains uncertain but pointed to a large-scale, coordinated attack.

“Well, we’re not sure exactly what happened,” Musk said. “But there was a massive cyberattack to try to bring down the X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area.”

Earlier in the day, Musk had confirmed via X that the platform was under siege from an extensive hacking attempt. He later stated that the attack was so sophisticated that it was likely orchestrated by a well-coordinated group or a foreign nation.

The outage, which began around 5:30 AM ET, sparked widespread complaints from users struggling to access the app and website. The disruption fueled speculation about the source and intent of the cyberattack, with Musk’s claim adding a geopolitical dimension to the incident.

As of now, X is back online, and Musk has assured users that the platform is functioning normally again. However, his assertion that the attack originated from Ukraine raises serious questions about cybersecurity threats and international tensions in the digital space.
