      It’s not just the data transfer. It’s also number of connections and the combined load. Scaling theese kind of things can be a nightmare for games doing an auth workflow on launch day and that’s largely just text connections over REST.

      Musk was an idiot and fired everybody that could have helped prevent/minimize the impact.
