As nearly every corner of the internet was affected early Monday morning by the Amazon Web Services outage, Elon Musk was gloating that his X platform was not affected.
“Not us,” he responded to a post showing all the services and sites affected by the AWS outage, later responding and respiting memes making fun of Amazon and its founder Jeff Bezos.
Musk used the outage to promote X’s new chat function as users reported issues with encrypted messaging platform Signal.
“I don’t trust Signal anymore,” he wrote on X, adding in another post “The messages are fully encrypted with no advertising hooks or strange ‘AWS dependencies’ such that I can’t read your messages even if someone put a gun to my head. You can also do file transfers and audio/video calls.”
