Billionaire businessman, Elon Musk, has claimed that the cyberattack that took down his social media app, X, on Monday, originated in Ukraine.
Musk stated this following repeated glitches with the site, which has been down for much of the day.
“Well, we’re not sure exactly what happened,” he told Fox Business Network.
“But there was a massive cyber attack to try to bring down the X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area.”
Earlier in the day, Musk said X was being targeted by a “massive cyberattack.”
Users of the social media platform had complained about issues with the app and website since as early as 5:30am ET.
Musk wrote on X that the hack involved so many resources, which made him believe it could only be the work of a “coordinated group” or a foreign country.
