CEO of Tesla and founder of SpaceX, Elon Musk has claimed Ukraine is behind the devastating cyberattack that took down his social media app X.

This comes after the social media platform suffered repeated glitches on Monday, March 10.

‘Well, we’re not sure exactly what happened,’ Musk told Fox Business Network on Monday afternoon

‘But there was a massive cyber attack to try to bring down the X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area.’

Musk had confirmed earlier in the day that X was being targeted by a ‘massive cyberattack.’ The world’s richest man noted during the interview that the social media site is now back up and running.

His statement came after the platform had been down for users worldwide. They had complained about issues with the app and website since as early as 5:30am ET.

Musk shared on X that the hack involved so many resources that he believes it could only be the work of a ‘coordinated group’ or a foreign country.

He did not offer any other details on the attack which has impacted the app’s 600 million active monthly users.

It came amid hostile relations between Kyiv and Washington. Last month, President Donald Trump called Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky a ‘dictator.’

Zelensky was accused by Trump, and Vice President J.D. Vance, of warmongering, not wanting to make peace, and not being grateful enough for U.S. military and financial support during an Oval Office meeting.

He was expelled from the White House and a proposed minerals deal between Washington and Kyiv remained unsigned.

While Republicans in the U.S. supported Trump’s actions and criticized Zelensky’s behavior, the encounter led to backlash in Ukraine.

In the aftermath, Musk branded Zelensky ‘evil’ and accused him of pushing a ‘forever war’ with Russia.

Musk said at the time: ‘Zelensky wants a forever war, a never-ending graft meat grinder. This is evil.’

In October, Musk called for a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, and added: ‘We are sleepwalking our way into World War III with one foolish decision after the other.’

On Monday, Zelensky was in Saudi Arabia to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Talks will be held there on Tuesday between Ukrainian and U.S. officials that Washington hopes will deliver substantial progress towards ending Ukraine’s war with Russia.
