Because they all use the illegal Colossus 2 data centre from SpaceX/XAi/fascism central and that data centre went down.

Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI all have contracts with them.

When that illegally running environmental disaster of data centre goes down, all those services all go over capacity and you get 502 rate limit errors.

Does that mean Musk's businesses have access to everything people do on the systems that use their data centers?

Impossible to know.

There are systems for doing things cryptographically secure, but I don’t know much about that.

Homomorphic encryption? Much slower than "trust me, bro".
