The Promise: A history-making presidential campaign launch—on Twitter Spaces, hosted by Elon Musk.

What Happened: The livestream glitched repeatedly. Audio cut out. The event crashed mid-announcement. Listeners dropped off. The supposed future of political messaging turned into a technical breakdown.

What Failed: Platform overpromised and under-delivered. Musk’s presence magnified attention—but also magnified the stumble.

What We Learned: If your platform crashes mid-launch, the only message that lands is failure.

What an Event Pro Would’ve Advised: Load test the platform. Rehearse timing. Build redundancy. Don’t mix ego with production tech.
