Technical glitches stalled the interview, and people were prevented from joining in to listen. Musk said X had suffered a massive denial-of-service attack.<\/p>\n<p>Such an attack occurs when a website is bombarded with requests by programs pretending to be users trying to view the same content. However, it is difficult for website operators to distinguish the difference between a DoS attack and users trying to access content all at once.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hannity said the glitches in Trump&rsquo;s interview may be related to the recent hack on Trump&rsquo;s campaign, which is currently being investigated by the FBI. The prime suspect behind that hack appears to be Iran, but Tehran has denied any involvement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re not dealing with amateurs here,&rdquo; Hannity said. &ldquo;Now they have gone hard after Elon Musk tonight, and limiting the number of people that could listen to your father-in-law earlier tonight.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Lara Trump laid the blame on the &ldquo;deep state,&rdquo; saying that there were a large number of people actively working to keep Trump out of the White House.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;These people are terrified,&rdquo; Lara Trump said.&nbsp;&ldquo;This is the deep state. This is a swamp in Washington, D.C. These are the people who are our adversaries in many cases, and they know that the jig is up, the game is over, when Donald J. Trump returns to the White House.

The interview, which took place on X, was postponed by over 40 minutes on Monday night. Following the event, Lara Trump discussed it on Sean Hannity&#8217;s Fox show, suggesting that the &#8220;deep state&#8221; was responsible for the technical issues that hindered listeners from joining in. Musk indicated that X experienced a significant denial-of-service attack, which occurs when a website is overwhelmed with requests from programs mimicking users trying to access content simultaneously. This makes it challenging for site operators to differentiate between an actual attack and legitimate user traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Hannity speculated that these glitches might be connected to a recent hack of Trump&#8217;s campaign currently under FBI investigation, with Iran being identified as a potential suspect\u2014though Tehran has denied involvement. Hannity remarked on how serious this situation is and suggested it targeted Musk as well by limiting audience access during Trump&#8217;s interview.<\/p>\n<p>Lara Trump asserted that there are many individuals actively working against her father-in-law&#8217;s return to power, claiming they are frightened of his potential comeback to the White House. She described these individuals as part of a &#8220;deep state&#8221; operating within Washington D.C., asserting they are adversaries who fear losing control once Donald J. Trump returns to office.<\/p>\n<p>The term &#8220;deep state&#8221; refers to the belief that federal agency employees wield more influence over policy than elected officials do\u2014a theory frequently mentioned by Trump at rallies. However, Lara Trump did not provide any evidence linking the technical difficulties or hacking incidents directly to this so-called deep state effort.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these challenges, Trump&#8217;s interview with Musk attracted over 16 million viewers overall and peaked at around 700,000 live listeners at one point according to reports from The New York Times<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2542,"featured_media":2323790,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Trump-Musk-2024-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[26894,34350,33397,38005],"class_list":["post-2323789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-deep-state","tag-former-president","tag-lara-trump","tag-musk-interview"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Trump-Musk-2024-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2323789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2542"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2323789"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2323789\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2323790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2323789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2323789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2323789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
