Twitter crashed repeatedly on Wednesday during a highly anticipated live audio chat between Elon Musk, Twitter's owner, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, hampering the politician's announcement he is running for the Republican presidential nomination. Since Musk took over the social media platform in October, he has laid off thousands of employees including many engineers who were responsible for fixing software bugs. "Failure to Launch", "Crashed" and #DeSaster were among the trending Twitter topics in the U.S. during the chat session.
