Fox And Friends Calls Out Musk Over Ukraine Hacking Lie

Last week's cyberattack on X, formerly known as Twitter, left users frustrated and confused for hours. But what really caught the attention of viewers was when Elon Musk took to Fox Business to blame the attack on Ukraine. However, during a subsequent appearance on Fox and Friends with special guest Kurt Knutsson, the Cyber Guy, it became clear that Musk's claims were vastly exaggerated.

Host Steve Doocy seemed skeptical of Musk's assertions from the start, saying "But you and I were talking... It probably looks like it's coming from Ukraine." He suggested that Musk might be overlooking the fact that cyber attackers have advanced methods for disguising their origins. Doocy's observation was spot on, as later in the segment, Knutsson shed light on a group called Dark Storm, who claimed responsibility for the outage.

"These guys, they have ways of making it look like it's coming from Ukraine, even though they're not in Ukraine," Knutsson explained. "I suggested it might be Russia." The evidence Knutsson presented seemed to contradict Musk's claims, leaving viewers wondering if the billionaire was simply trying to deflect attention.

"Musk is a lying scumbag so I wouldn't believe him," Doocy bluntly stated. The segment highlighted the absurdity of Musk's accusations and emphasized that Ukraine could greatly benefit from having access to X's services in their fight against Russia.

Ukraine's situation is dire, with ongoing conflict with Russia leaving civilians caught in the crossfire. Having a functional social media platform like X would provide them with vital communication channels and resources to coordinate their efforts. In contrast, Musk's priorities seem to be centered around his other ventures, including Tesla, SpaceX, and Dogecoin, which are struggling under pressure.

"If Ukraine did attack X, then Elon should give them half of X, sign a ceasefire, put on a suit and thank them," Doocy quipped. It's clear that Musk's management style is out of touch with the needs of his users, and he would do well to prioritize their safety and security over his own interests.

The incident serves as a stark reminder that corporate leaders can't just make things up or shift blame whenever they're caught off guard by an attack. It highlights the importance of holding them accountable for their actions and ensuring that they put the needs of users first.
