X (Formerly Twitter) Faces Widespread Outages, Affecting Thousands of Users
Elon Musk’s X was inaccessible on Monday morning for thousands of users, including many in the U.S. Image:Google According to Downdetector, a website that tracks users’ reports of online outages, X went down for some users around 5:30 a.m. ET, with more than 20,000 users reporting outages. Though these outages seemed to have resolved after about an hour, the outages returned around 9:30 a.m. ET, with more than 40,000 users reporting issues. As of 10:30 a.m. ET, the outages are ongoing, though some users have reported that they have been able to access the site again. Occasional outages are normal for platforms of this size, but are never convenient for their users — as one user lamented in the comments on Downdetector, “on day 1 of the NFL free agency!? ELON Fix this.”
