Elon Musk is threatened with a terrible month of attacks by a group of hackers
A group of hackers have threatened to give the billionaire owner of SpaceX, Tesla, and the social network X a terrible month. In particular, the infamous DonRoad team, which Newsweek claims will target his most well-known businesses and may cause a lot of problems.
In their post, the hackers stated, "We will start suspending all websites connected to Elon Musk's businesses for a month in the coming hours."
Although it is unclear exactly what kind of attacks they have planned, the group's history indicates that they are not unfamiliar with the situation. They took credit in March for hacking Donald Trump-related websites and momentarily taking down email servers at SpaceX and Tesla. They now seem to have Musk as a new target.
Without delving deeper or talking about its past, this group has previously targeted Donald Trump, hacked websites connected to his group, and sparked unrest around the world.
In February, they also made a bold statement on the official website of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Musk led during the Trump administration: "This is a joke.gov." Additionally, they criticized its databases' lack of security.
Why is Elon Musk involved? The causes of the assault
The answer might seem fairly clear, but there is no denying that Elon Musk is a contentious figure in society. While some people applaud him for his vision, others criticize him for his actions, statements, style, and contentious choices. Because of his widespread influence, he is a prime target for organizations like these that aim to garner attention and be highlighted in various media.
Regardless of the business mogul's actions within his companies, it is very likely that the attacks are motivated by political reasons. By attacking Trump, the DonRoad team has already demonstrated a strong interest in individuals linked to political power. It is no surprise that Musk is on the group's radar now that he is in charge of government initiatives like DOGE and is well-known in fields like artificial intelligence and space.
All things considered, it is unclear how things will turn out, but one thing is certain: Elon Musk is up against one of his toughest obstacles to date, with pressure on his tech companies and threats already on the table. What transpires in the upcoming weeks will have to be waited for.
