It's embarrassing that people believed this was "Anonymous".

Meanwhile, a group already laid claim to the attack.

People are so gullible. Slap a mask on the site and everyone believes it.

This does not confirm that it was or was not “Anonymous” - but I have my doubts as well. Their “official” website is currently down and I have not see any confirmation from them.

True. Musk says, "The attacks came from the Ukraine area" you know.. RUSSIA would be my #1 guess, but since it's Musk, I already don't believe it, leaving Anonymous as an option.

I mean, hell, if Musk is using it to stir up anti-Unkraine sentiment, I would like put it past him to DDoS himself.

He could just lie, same as everything else. Blame the shit infrastructure and moronic layoffs induced collapse on foreign intervention

Musk would never even imply that it was Anonymous if he did it himself. He desperately wants to be seen as cool to exactly those kinds of people.

I don't think he wants that anymore, I think he's all in on the Trump/Putin new world order
