Counterpoint: yes it is, and by some measures, it's a lot worse.

ChatGPT is about as popular as Facebook was in early 2008, but $NVDA was worth $4.1 trillion as of Friday.
Also, if you believe Mark Zuckerberg and his stooges that Facebook's perpetual growth is now coming from its global users outside of the U.S., explain this graph.

Well, another correction. It's not 1,300Mb/s. It's probably a lot more. The incoming traffic has been consistent at about 800Mb/s—which is roughly the capacity of the hardware link (a gigabit ethernet port).
We'd post a link to the tariff case today, but instead, knowledge itself is under attack.

Correction: it's more like 1,300Mb/s. This is one of the more serious attacks PlainSite has been on the receiving end of. And since it did actually knock the site off-line, there's no question it's a criminal act.

Someone is sending over 300Mb/s of traffic PlainSite's way, so the site is down while we work on mitigating the attack.

This 15-times-sued plastic surgeon's reputation management service has been making millions upon millions of bogus HTTP requests to PlainSite over the past week from rotating IP addresses. Apologies for any site performance issues.
His office manager has been "in a meeting" all week. How strange.

Ross Gerber, one of Elon Musk's loudest cheerleaders on financial news networks over a period of years, is now referring to Musk as a "fraud."
Gerber is dumb as bricks and routinely lies about his degree, making him something of a fraud himself. Nonetheless, this is significant.

...but she also agreed to an injunction that forbids her from further violations of the Immigration Consultants Act. Which means no more pretending to be a lawyer.
Seemingly, that hasn't stopped her from making videos about lawsuits where she gets everything wrong.

One of the allegations IRDC (really, Medvei) makes is that Merz was effectively practicing law without a license. And remarkably, Merz settled the case soon after the First Amended Complaint was filed, in which these allegations were made. Not only did she pay Medvei's costs of $7,500...

He is one of several reporters at CNBC who either have no interest in crucial details or have no time to report them because of the rush to be first. Not every reporter is like this. But for those that are, it's a real problem.

If option A were what was really going on here, then why would the user delete the posts from 4chan?
And although there's no need to re-post the text of the deleted posts here, it is absurdly praiseworthy of Elon Musk and denigrates basically everyone else. That is consistent with option B.

X Corp. uses the "Admin Portal" language a few places on its site. For example, there appear to be Admin Portals for advertisers and "Verified" businesses. One of the site's icons has the string AdminPortal in it and there are references in the code as well.

There is no proof that "Adrian Dittman" on 4chan is necessarily "Adrian Dittman" on Twitter (now X). However, the image makes that problem essentially moot.
The full image on the 4chan post is deleted now, as are the posts themselves. But an annotated version of the full image is on Reddit (below).

No. There’s nothing you’ll get in the mail from FinCEN or Treasury saying you have to register or there are serious penalties.
But scams? Oh sure, we can do those. This is America.
