Gov. Ron DeSantis's (R-FL) announcement of his run for president went off with a glitch as his planned announcement for the 2024 election on a Twitter Space frequently crashed before having to be moved to a new space.
The Florida governor had intended to announce his presidential run in a Twitter Space with current Twitter CEO Elon Musk, but the Twitter Space the two were hosting kept crashing. As a result, the term "DeSaster" started to trend on the social media platform.

President Joe Biden also seemed to poke fun at the struggling Twitter Space, tweeting out a campaign donation link with the caption "This link works."

Ahead of the Twitter Space, DeSantis made his 2024 announcement in a video posted to his personal Twitter account. He joins the GOP nomination race with other contenders, and he is seen to be the biggest challenger to former President Donald Trump for the spot.
