Musk added that X had tested the system “with 8 million concurrent listeners earlier today.” Assuming that Musk is telling the truth that his system could handle 8 million listeners, it’s entirely plausible that more than 8 million people might try to listen to Trump and Musk spout their inane, racist bullshit. The world has 8 billion people, and Twitter reportedly has about 500 million users worldwide.
Is this journalism?
The article is listed under "News" for Gizmodo.
Oh well, another rag destined for bankruptcy, probably.

It's Gizmodo. They've always been a snarky site (like all of the Gawker sites). I have different expectations for them than the WSJ.

Is it true or is it another way to seek public attention?

given the noise being made by the EU and UK around Musk and X recently, it's most likely them behind it.

I saw all of his tests go through just fine - there are dark actors at play trying to silence him.
