Tesla CEO Elon Musk visited the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday and held a live broadcast on X.Embarrassingly, he had just over three minutes of live broadcast when a technical failure occurred and he was forced to interrupt.Musk came to the Texas border town of Eagle Pass on Thursday, claiming to discuss the border crisis and learn first-hand about the immigration issues here. "As an American immigrant, I am very pro-immigration. Likewise, we should not allow those who break the law to enter our country." Musk, who was born in South Africa, said.
In order to let people understand the situation at the US-Mexico border in real time, Musk started a live broadcast on X. Musk is still a little worried about X's live broadcast technology. He said at the beginning of the live broadcast: "We have to first ensure that the live broadcast can be used."
Musk is right to be worried.After less than four minutes of live broadcast discussing immigration issues, X experienced a technical glitch and got stuck."Let's see if it still works, I'm a little worried that maybe too many people are watching and it crashes," Musk said. This live broadcast was watched by approximately 5 million viewers.
The glitch in the live broadcast must have upset Musk.According to foreign media reporters, Musk suddenly sent an email to all X employees: "Please solve this problem." Then Musk resumed the live broadcast, this time for 13 minutes, and the picture looked slightly smoother.
In fact, this is not the first time that X has had a live broadcast failure.In May of this year, Musk held a live broadcast on X for US Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, who announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination at the time. However, there were multiple technical failures during the live broadcast, which made Musk angry.
As of press time, X has not commented on this.
