After months of speculation, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis officially announced a campaign for the 2024 Republican nomination for president on Wednesday, but his supporters were forced to endure yet one more delay as his scheduled 6 p.m. Eastern launch was repeatedly disrupted.

Though DeSantis planned to announce his campaign in an audio-only Twitter “Space” with the site’s owner, Elon Musk, the event was plagued by glitches: users were kicked off the app several times as audio cut in and out, such that the 600,000-plus audience that had assembled to hear his speech had dwindled to fewer than 200,000 listeners by the time the candidate was finally able to be heard a little after 6:20pm.

The DeSantis campaign team — and Musk, by extension — sought to explain away the issues as evidence for the enthusiasm behind the candidate: “It seems we broke the internet with so much excitement,” the official “Team DeSantis” Twitter account wrote.
