ElonMusk’s plan to make Twitter the first social media platform to host the launch of a U.S. presidential bid didn’t get off to the best start.
The idea was to launch a Twitter Spaces session with Republican hopeful Ron DeSantis at a scheduled time on Wednesday evening, but when the event was supposed to start, the online audience waiting patiently in the audio-only Space was met with a sudden screeching sound.
“All right, here we go,” Sacks said, and then was heard typing something, perhaps along the lines of: “Hey Elon, are you sure this was a good idea?” After checking that DeSantis was really there, Sacks said the first Spaces session — the one that went wrong — had half a million listeners and was growing by 50,000 a minute.
Just over four-and-a-half minutes in, DeSantis finally got started, speaking with around 890,000 listeners for the next hour or so.
