The Troubled Launch of Ron DeSantis's Presidential Campaign.

TL;DR Summary
The launch of Ron DeSantis's presidential campaign on Twitter Spaces was marred by technical glitches due to server overload. The platform was overwhelmed by the number of listeners, causing feedback, outages, and garbled audio. The event restarted and ran more smoothly with fewer listeners, indicating that demand was an issue. Twitter's new owner, Elon Musk, has cut costs severely, leading to warnings that the platform could become prone to outages more regularly. However, Twitter had issues before Musk's arrival, and dealing with problems such as the DeSantis launch glitches will still be Musk's responsibility.
