Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis explained why he chose Twitter as the platform for the announcement of his presidential candidacy, saying that his approach to dealing with COVID-19 led him to make decisions based on data rather than following the crowd.
His decision to use the tech platform, however, was not without hiccups. The Twitter Spaces discussion hosted by CEO Elon Musk crashed for about 20 minutes, with the platform unable to handle the more than 600,000 listeners tuning in. Musk later attributed the glitches to “scaling issues” tied to his account.
