Hackers are targeting Elon Musk in a shocking plan to attack all of the billionaire’s websites for a full month.
The group has said that they will continue to attack Musk’s sites for the rest of April.
Known as DonRoad Team, the group is known for previously taking down websites related to President Donald Trump.

Now, they have claimed that they are beginning to suspend sites that are associated with the Tesla boss.
It’s not yet clear which websites the group are targeting but it could mean that the likes of SpaceX and X, formerly Twitter, are at risk of being hacked.
The social media platform was targeted last month and it left users unable to log into their X accounts, although it isn’t known if DonRoad Team were the culprits behind it.

After the hack, Musk published a post, saying: “We get attacked every day. There was a massive cyber attack to try to bring down the X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area.”
However, actually locating the source of the hack is trickier than you might think, because hackers will often tamper with their IP addresses to disguise their real location.
This means that the hack, which appeared to come from somewhere in Ukraine, could have actually been anywhere in the world.
In February, the website of the Department for Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is headed up by Musk, was hacked.

On the site, messages were left reading ‘this is a joke of a .gov site’ and ‘THESE EXPERTS LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN’.
And Musk isn’t the only person involved in the US government that has been targeted by hackers recently.
During the presidential election in October 2024, Trump, JD Vance and Kamala Harris were all targeted by Chinese hackers.

The FBI and the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said at the time: “The U.S. Government is investigating the unauthorized access to commercial telecommunications infrastructure by actors affiliated with the People’s Republic of China.”
Unrest over the current administration has been growing, with protests taking place up and down the country.
President of the Human Rights Campaign advocacy group, Kelley Robinson, spoke at the National Mall rally where she said: “They’re trying to ban our books, they’re slashing HIV prevention funding, they’re criminalizing our doctors, our teachers, our families and our lives.
“We don’t want this America, y’all. We want the America we deserve, where dignity, safety and freedom belong not to some of us, but to all of us.”
