- Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis’ online announcement Wednesday night of the 2024 presidential campaign got off to a rough start when the livestream crashed, prompting former President Trump to respond with a video meme contrasting it with his own campaign announcement in November 2022.
-
DeSantis posted a campaign ad to his Twitter before hopping on a Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk to announce his White House bid live, but for more than 20 minutes, the announcement was delayed because the Space kept crashing.
- Twitter owner Elon Musk appeared to pin the crash on the high volume of users who tuned in to hear DeSantis speak, overwhelming the social media’s servers and setting off a string of glitches that led to Trump making a meme of the technical difficulties.
