Utter chaos for DeSantis’s presidential candidacy announcement as Twitter Spaces event with Elon Musk crashes repeatedly ‘because too many people joined’ – before FINALLY getting underway 26 minutes late
- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Wednesday that he is running in the 2024 Republican presidential primary with a video release
- It came just before the anticipated Twitter announcement began with disaster as it crashed multiple times
Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign kicked off in chaos on Wednesday night as the Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk started late and crashed multiple times.
The Florida Governor ended months of speculation by releasing a campaign video saying he would lead the ‘Great American Comeback’ and claimed Joe Biden is ‘floundering’ as president.
But his Twitter Spaces began late and quickly turned into a shambles as it continuously crashed.
Musk at one point said the ‘servers were strained’ and the host blamed the glitches on the number of people tuning in, which he claimed were a ‘good thing.’
Moderator David Sacks, a tech entrepreneur close to Musk, started the talk by claiming DeSantis was engaged in a ‘first is social media’ by ‘making history’ with the announcement.
The event, however, is more likely to be remembered for its series of glitches.
Once the event was finally off the ground, DeSantis did confirm to the Tesla and Twitter CEO that he has entered the Republican presidential primary race just hours after filing the appropriate paperwork needed to launch a bid for the White House.
Just one hour before the video was released, Donald Trump got one more swipe in at his main competitor – and almost asking for DeSantis to get the same sort of attacks from the left that the former president has received over the last several years.
‘I’d like to personally congratulate ‘Rob’ DeSanctimonious on finally announcing that he will be entering the race for President of the United States,’ he quipped in a post on his Truth Social platform. ‘Hopefully he will get the full experience of being attacked by the Marxists, Communists, and Radical Left Lunatics of our Country, without which he will never know the kind of job he is doing.’
Trump added: ‘These Lowlifes & Misfits are far worse than the leaders of hostile foreign countries. They must be soundly defeated in order to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’
Regarding the disastrous start to the Twitter Spaces announcement, Democratic National Committee spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement: ‘In true Ron DeSantis fashion, his presidential launch was quite literally not ready for primetime. Welcome to the race for the MAGA base, Ron!’
