Republican Ron DeSantis said to himself candidate for the White House Wednesday. “I’m running for president to lead America’s comeback,” the governor of Florida said in a video posted to his Twitter account.
Perceived as Donald Trump’s main rival for the Republican nomination, he was then to speak in an interview with Elon Musk, the owner and boss of Twitter, live on the platform.

But the discussion did not start on time: the billionaire’s voice and that of the moderator, Republican businessman David Sacks, were audible but interrupted by long silences.
“We have a huge number of people online, so the servers are struggling a bit to keep up,” said Elon Musk. “We are reallocating computing capacity to handle the load, it’s really crazy,” he added before the Twitter Space (social network audio lounge) picked up once more.
At the same time, Joe Biden’s account sarcastically tweeted “this link works”, with a link to his campaign site for his re-election as president.
Some 25 minutes following the announced time, the conversation presented by David Sacks as “historic” finally started once more.
