Given that bluesky was hit a few days ago, could be a threat actor gauging the defenses/responses of 2nd tier targets. I wouldn’t put it past musk to use ddos to generate bad press for non-x socials either.
Plenty of ways this could be worth someone’s resources even if complete take down isn’t on the table.

This actually ended up not being an external DDOS. They shipped some code that ended up hammering their servers.
