Zelensky Ordered Cyber Attack On X? Elon Musk's Bombshell Claim Hours Before US-Ukraine Talks| Trump

On March 10, 2025, Elon Musk, CEO of the social media platform X, reported a significant outage caused by a "massive cyberattack" originating from the "Ukraine area." Musk suggested that the attack involved substantial resources, possibly implicating a nation-state or a large coordinated group.

However, cybersecurity experts have expressed skepticism regarding Musk's claims. They note that such denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks can be executed by small groups or even individuals, and that traffic from Ukraine was reportedly minimal.

Additionally, sources indicate that significant portions of the traffic targeted at X originated from countries including the U.S., Vietnam, and Brazil, with Ukrainian-origin traffic being "insignificant."

The timing of the cyberattack is notable, coinciding with high-level U.S.-Ukraine peace talks in Saudi Arabia. These discussions led to the U.S. agreeing to resume military and intelligence support to Ukraine, contingent upon a proposed 30-day cease-fire, pending Russia's agreement.

While there is no concrete evidence directly linking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the cyberattack on X, the incident has intensified scrutiny of the digital tactics employed amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
