Dark Storm is the reason why everyone was wondering why their "tweets" were not loading on X on March 10, 2025. The hacktivist group took responsibility for the attack on the site. The DDOS attack on X was supposed to be a trial or a way to show their strength, or the damage they could do to Musk's property.

Futurist Ed Krassenstein has been in contact with Dark Storm and they have revealed a few of their targets such as "wallet applications of private banks." The exchanges between Krassenstein and Dark Storm were posted by the former. One of the messages from the chat reads:

"We can attack again. A stronger attack this time" Dark Storm replied.

While Elon Musk blames Ukraine for this attack, the hacktivist group reportedly debunked the theory.


Why is Dark Storm targeting Elon Musk's X?

Through a series of message exchanges between Dark Storm and Ed Krassenstein, the hacktivist group has revealed their motives.

When Krassenstein asked:

"Do the IPs used to attack originate from Ukraine?" Krassenstein writes.

Dark Storm responded with:

"I don't know, ask him. He's the one who said that" - Dark Storm replied, implying that "he" is Musk.

When Ed pushed by saying:

"Well I'm asking you. Is what he said accurate?"

To this, Dark Storm replied with a simple "No".

After more exchanges between the two, the attacker revealed the true intentions. They even made a threat saying:

"We can attack again. A stronger attack this time... An attack not only on X" - Dark Storm said.

After Krassenstein pressed further, they replied with:

"Tesla and others..."

Krassenstein then asked them what the purpose of these attacks was. They replied with two cash emojis.

Additionally, the hacktivist group claims that they will provide evidence that they were the ones who attacked X.


Naturally, netizens were skeptical:

"My guess is you're on the same pay roll as Dark Storm" - @Deathcard10 said.

"More Elon lies 🤦🏻‍♂️" - @Simon_Gin7up stated.
