Technical difficulties during Donald Trump’s recent interview with Elon Musk have sparked a flurry of conspiracy theories, particularly from none other than Lara Trump. As co-chair of the Republican National Committee and wife to Trump’s eldest son, Lara didn’t hold back in suggesting that there are dark forces at play, determined to thwart her father-in-law’s quest for the White House. According to her, these tech troubles were no mere coincidence—they were likely the result of an elaborate plot orchestrated by the proverbial “deep state.”
The drama unfolded on a Monday night when the highly-anticipated sit-down between Musk and Trump hit a snag due to unexplained technical issues. The situation escalated when Musk himself took to X, formerly Twitter, to announce that the platform was experiencing what appeared to be a massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. For the tech novices out there, this type of activity involves inundating a website with so much traffic that it grinds to a halt—a tactic that sounds like it’s ripped straight from the pages of a spy novel.

During an appearance on Fox News, Lara Trump declared that the “terrifying” behaviors of those opposed to her father-in-law’s candidacy were escalating. She pointed out that this was indicative of a widespread, desperate effort to keep Trump away from the Oval Office, which she and many of his supporters see as an existential threat to the status quo. It seems the mere thought of another Trump presidency is enough to send some political operatives into a frenzy, and Lara is more than willing to call them out.
The Trump camp has long maintained that they are battling against the entrenched bureaucracy of Washington—a swamp that, in Lara’s view, has been running unchecked for too long. She asserted that many of those she refers to as “our adversaries” are terrified at the prospect of Trump winning back the presidency. The implication is clear: the political establishment and its allies are interested in preserving their power, even if it means resorting to underhanded tactics to disrupt a Trump resurgence.
Lara contended that her father-in-law is uniquely positioned to restore power to the American people—something that has become a rallying cry for Trump’s supporters. According to her, the political elite has enjoyed a “free pass” under the current administration and are determined to maintain the status quo rather than let a Trump-led revival disrupt their cozy arrangements. She implied that the likes of Kamala Harris returning for another term is a nightmare scenario nobody wants to see play out, except perhaps for those benefiting from the current establishment.
Adding fuel to the fire, Sean Hannity chimed in on the Fox News segment, implying that the glitches during the interview were likely the result of deliberate actions against Trump. He framed the entire situation not as a technical hiccup but rather as a coordinated effort to silence the former president. With Trump’s campaign also facing hacking challenges—reportedly linked to Iran—the narrative of election interference was firmly planted. The timing and nature of these events have left many wondering if they are witnessing a concerted effort to undermine one man’s political comeback.
