Elon Musk mocks AWS outage, promotes X Chat as most major apps go down
Elon Musk once again espoused the virtues of his social media platform X as most popular apps faced downtime due to an Amazon Web Services tech issue. Musk highlighted that X was unaffected by the disruption because it doesn’t have a dependency on Amazon’s cloud service.
In a post on X urging users to switch to X chat, Musk wrote, “The messages are fully encrypted with no advertising hooks or strange “AWS dependencies” such that I can’t read your messages even if someone put a gun to my head. You can also do file transfers and audio/video calls.”
