Ron DeSantis’ live event on Twitter was beset by technical glitches and audio problems as the social network’s servers struggled to handle the surge of demand.

The event, which was scheduled for 6 p.m. New York time, was intended to be where DeSantis would launch his 2024 presidential campaign. Elon Musk is hosting the event, which venture capitalist David Sacks is moderating.
