On Monday morning, X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, went down in what Musk described as a “massive cyberattack.” The timing could not be more suspect, as Musk has been on a mission to expose the corruption of intelligence agencies, leftist NGOs, and Washington bureaucrats.
Musk took to X to confirm the attack, revealing that it was highly coordinated and required “a lot of resources.” He hinted that a large group or a nation-state was involved. Given Musk’s role in uncovering the Deep State’s operations, it is not far-fetched to suspect foul play.
Over the past few months, Musk has been dismantling the leftist power structure. His work with Trump includes an audit of the Pentagon’s spending, a move that has put military bureaucrats and defense contractors on edge. He has also drawn attention to USAID’s questionable activities, prompting President Trump to call its leadership “radical lunatics.”
Musk’s battles have come with consequences. Tesla facilities have been attacked, Cybertrucks have been vandalized, and leftist activists have launched protests against his businesses. The mainstream media, along with Democrat-aligned billionaires, have also targeted Musk with hit pieces designed to tank Tesla’s stock value.
The attack on X follows the government’s growing efforts to clamp down on free speech. The intelligence community and its allies have long sought to control online discourse, and Musk’s refusal to comply has made X a prime target. The timing of this outage — amid Musk’s biggest fight yet — raises more questions than answers.
Musk has proven he will not back down. But as he continues exposing corruption, the opposition is becoming more desperate. The takedown of X could be just the beginning of a larger attempt to destroy him and the movement he represents.
