That's a really lame excuse.
That no tech exists to prevent it is a lame excuse? WTAF? I don't really see Twitter taking off on a tangent to fight this battle alone.

Musk wants us all to believe that it was Ukraine who initiated the DDoS, and that the scale of the attack would have been significant enough to overcome any servers, not just Twitter.
He simply pointed to the fact that the origins of IP addresses used were from Ukraine. It is a fact that DDoS attacks typically use spoofed IPs so, that might or might not have meaning. He was specific that these were IP addresses, not means of geo locating the senders.

You keep spinning the story as if this is just "par for the course," but I for one can already tell that Musk is lying."Oh, but you can't guard against everything." No shit, Sherlock, but you guard against enough so that some random hacker group that calls themselves "Dark Storm" or "Storm of Insufficient Light" or whatever won't find any success.
No, what I said was that in the case of DDoS attacks there is no know way to guarantee safety. That's the essence of what I said and AFAIK, that is the truth. So, no matter how much you spend you cannot prevent DDoS attacks. Which is the reason Cloudflare uses the tactics it does to get around it.

If you have knowledge of a way to guard against these attacks that Cloudflare and others don't have access to, that sounds like a business opportunity. I think you should go for it.
