DeSantis' Twitter campaign launch plagued by glitches and Musk partnership rumors.

Twitter's livestream event with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announcing his bid for the White House crashed and was delayed due to technical issues, including sound cutting in and out and server overload. More than 500,000 users joined the event, causing it to be ended and restarted, delaying DeSantis' announcement by nearly half an hour. Twitter has faced multiple service outages and technical issues since Elon Musk took over the platform. Twitter's Spaces product was not built to host events with hundreds of thousands of listeners, and a former employee described it as a "prototype" and "janky" tool.
