A live stream with tens of thousands of simultaneous viewers is, almost by definition, a scheduled DDOS. Even Apple struggled for years to get it right for their WWDC Keynote events back when they were live.
I didn’t think Twitter Spaces was anything but audio, though? Like they’re not streaming 8k video over here like Apple, it’s likely garbage phone audio. No?
It’s not just the data transfer. It’s also number of connections and the combined load. Scaling theese kind of things can be a nightmare for games doing an auth workflow on launch day and that’s largely just text connections over REST.
Musk was an idiot and fired everybody that could have helped prevent/minimize the impact.

Audio is fine afaik
What does “fine” mean?
Like comparable to most streaming sites
Weird because the article in OP very much suggests otherwise.
