Lara Trump Blames Tech Glitches on "Deep State" During Interview with Elon Musk

In a recent appearance on Sean Hannity's Fox News program, Lara Trump attributed the technical difficulties experienced during Donald Trump’s interview with Elon Musk on the social media platform X to the so-called "deep state." She claimed that Trump's adversaries are exploiting the current political climate, suggesting they have been given a "free pass" under President Biden's administration. This assertion comes amid ongoing discussions about the influence of political factions on technology and media. The interview, which was scheduled to begin at 8 p.m., faced significant glitches reminiscent of previous technical issues, such as those encountered during Ron DeSantis's campaign launch on X last year. At that time, Musk had pointed to server problems as the cause of the disruptions. However, during the recent interview, Musk suggested that the issues might have stemmed from a "massive DDoS attack" on the platform, a claim that has raised eyebrows among experts. Cybersecurity analyst Moore commented on Musk's characterization of the situation, indicating that while DDoS attacks can disrupt services, the fact that users were still able to access X suggests that the platform was not entirely compromised. He noted that a true DDoS attack would typically render a site completely offline, which did not occur during the interview. Lara Trump’s remarks reflect a broader narrative among some supporters of the former president, who believe that political adversaries are actively working to undermine Trump's return to power. This incident highlights the ongoing tensions between technology, politics, and public perception in the current media landscape.
