Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk was scheduled to interview Former United States President Donald Trump  on his social media network at 5:30 am IST. 

However, the interview was delayed by more than 30 minutes due to a cyber attack, Musk confirmed.

"There appears to be a massive DDOS attack on X. Working on shutting it down. Worst case, we will proceed with a smaller number of live listeners and post the conversation later," Musk posted on X.

Several users were unable to log in and soon "#crashed " and "DDOS" started to trend on the microblogging platform. Meanwhile, X users took to the internet and launched a meme fest.
