Trump Takes Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk was a historic moment in social media. This was the first time a former US President used Twitter Spaces, a feature that allows users to host live audio conversations.
Twitter Spaces was launched in December 2020, but it wasn't until June 2021 that Trump made his debut on the platform. He joined forces with Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, to discuss a range of topics, including space exploration and social media censorship.
The conversation was a big deal, with over 1 million people tuning in to listen. It was also a significant moment for Trump, who had been banned from other social media platforms but was still active on Twitter.

The conversation between Elon Musk and Donald Trump on X's Spaces platform was initially plagued by technical difficulties. Musk acknowledged the issues, claiming there was a massive DDOS attack on X.

The platform malfunctioned for many users, with some receiving a "This space is not available" message. The discussion was scheduled to start at 8 p.m. ET, but it began about 40 minutes late.
Musk said the system had been tested with 8 million concurrent listeners earlier that day, but it still couldn't handle the demand. The discussion finally started at 8:41 p.m. ET, with over 1 million listeners.
The conversation continued without further disruptions, with over 1.3 million listeners at its peak. It's worth noting that this wasn't the first time X's Spaces platform had technical issues, as it also crashed during a campaign interview with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis last year.
