Elon Musk has egg on his face as the worlds second wealthiest man and owner of Twitter, looked like an amateur LP Radio station operator, with a budget of nothing tonight. when the launch announcement of presidential candidate DeSantis feel into chaos. Hear the laughter from the headquarters of mouse who’s media empire didn’t miss a beat this evening…
Hey Elon, do you want to borrow a program manager that checks for glitches? KALHRadio.org will loan you our very own Anthony Lucero a nice station sponsorship!
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis chose an unconventional way to kick off his presidential campaign with a after the announcement was plagued by technical glitches.
The event was supposed to start at 6 p.m. but didn't kickoff on time and then immediately cut out. It then started again with moderator David Sacks saying "we’ve got so many people here that we are kind of melting the servers which is a good sign."
Then the conversation cut out again. It then started again, and cut out again.
"We're just trying to get it going, there's so many people," somebody said.
Of course, the so many people was estimated at the time as being 360,000! One would think the worlds 2nd wealthiest man would have had technology in place to handle 100 times that number of listeners.
Twitter is a global platform after all, or is it put together with baling wire, nuts and bolts since acquisition by Musk?
All the major media was listening in to the announcement of a credible candidate to take on Trump for the Republican nomination.
However one has to wonder was the glitch and the disastrous launch a stroke of genius?
All of America is talking about the issues with Twitter and the stumbled launch of the De Santos Campaign. The stumble ensures De Santos front and center of the headlines verses a below the fold story for Americas major news papers and the lead to media stations large and LP.

This executive order does nothing that the governor couldn't have done on her own without an EO. While the Office of the Governor's website calls this a drought emergency, no where in the actual EO is it called an emergency, nor or emergency powers invoked.
I neglected to account for the fact that the program gives up to 12 books a year to children, bringing the cost per book to under $3, a very reasonable price indeed. My apologies for the omission.
The proposed rules would likely force all outdoor construction to happen only between the hours of dusk - dawn from April - October. I wonder how many of the idiots proposing and supporting this rule need a new roof on their house, or on their neighbors house.
it's interesting to read that the proposed "wording is dangerous to small business owners"....please consider the potential for danger to the folks who are working in the heat. one danger is an inconvenience/expense - the other is potential death.
I would take it that you have not read the actual proposed rule. The link is in the article. I believe that even as a former construction worker who would seem to want better rules in place, you'll end up agreeing that the proposed rules go to far.
So after months of investigation, only 3 items were substantiated. First, a failure to use the increased funding on capital improvements (fixing the ac). This is a matter that should receive priority, as physical activity should play a major role in any youth center.
