"Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, was reportedly down for tens of thousands of users worldwide for around one hour on Friday, according to a site that tracks online outages. Over 41,000 issues were reported with the controversial microblogging site in the United States alone, with another 8,000 in the United Kingdom and 2,400 in India, according to DownDetector."
"Given that reports have to be actively submitted by users, the true figure was likely to be much higher. Both X and its integrated artificial intelligence chatbot Grok were back up and running after around one hour. There was no immediate comment from X, owners X Corp., or Musk. But NetBlocks, a global internet monitoring group, said in a post on Mastodon, a similar platform, that the disruptions were likely due to technical difficulties."
X, formerly known as Twitter, experienced a widespread outage affecting tens of thousands of users worldwide for around one hour. DownDetector recorded over 41,000 reports in the United States, about 8,000 in the United Kingdom and 2,400 in India, though user-submitted reports likely undercounted total impact. Both X and its integrated AI chatbot Grok returned to service after roughly an hour. X, X Corp. and Elon Musk issued no immediate comment. NetBlocks attributed the disruption to likely technical difficulties. This was the second connectivity problem for X in the same week; Musk bought the platform in October 2022 for $44 billion.
