What are system scaling tests?

System scaling tests refer to assessments conducted to analyze and enhance the performance and capacity of a platform in managing elevated user demand during peak periods or significant events.

In this context, it suggests that Musk is preparing for a potential increase in traffic during the live-streamed interview with Donald Trump. The tests may serve as a proactive measure to ensure that the X team is equipped to manage the heightened traffic and implement any required modifications to facilitate a seamless user experience.

A recent study conducted by Mediaite uncovered that X was limiting the visibility of Donald Trump’s posts, leading to the absence of several of his more contentious posts from the search results. Additionally, the system scaling tests may indicate a potential algorithm update aimed at enhancing the visibility of accounts that have been suppressed on the platform.

Donald Trump’s history with X:

The Twitter/X account of the former president was suspended in 2021 due to breaches of the platform’s policies, culminating in his expulsion from the service after the events of January 6 at the US Capitol.

In the wake of his removal from Twitter and various other social media platforms, Trump established his own platform, known as Truth Social. Additionally, the former president initiated legal action against Twitter in an attempt to have his account restored, but this effort proved unsuccessful.

Following Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter/X, Trump was reinstated on the platform. Nevertheless, he has chosen to limit his activity there compared to his previous engagement, opting instead to interact with his audience primarily through Truth Social. Since his return, Trump’s sole contribution to Twitter/X has been a mugshot he posted after his arrest related to allegations of trying to reverse the 2020 presidential election results.
