Why would a prominent member of a government administration with a central narrative of being besieged by (particularly internal) enemies which necessitates taking extreme action to liberare the country lie about a large scale attack directed at one of the things most publicly associated with them?
Nice joke, but on a serious note I can totally see Elon being told this, or hallucinating this, but I'm not particularly convinced that this actually happened. Waiting for third party cybersec firms.
Also I just saw a screenshot that indicated Twitter is still fronted by Cloudflare (I honestly thought that was a temporary measure to bypass the Brazil ban [1]), and now I believe this even less [0].
