X (Formerly Twitter) Down: Thousands Report Major Outage On Elon Musk’s Platform
X (Formerly Twitter) Down: The Elon Musk-owned social media platform X experienced a global outage on Saturday, affecting users in India as well. Many were unable to log in or load new posts during the disruption.
Thousands of users experienced disruptions while trying to access X (formerly Twitter) due to a widespread outage, as reported by the monitoring site Downdetector. Users faced difficulties with the mobile app, website, and logging in. About 41% were unable to log in, another 41% reported app malfunctions, and 18% had issues with the website.
This incident marks the second outage within 24 hours. On Friday, a major disruption had already prevented millions from using the platform. In India, many users also reported being unable to load the site. Globally, over 5,000 users flagged problems through Downdetector. The platform has not yet provided an official explanation for the cause.
X Engineering acknowledged the issue in a post, stating that the platform was facing a data center outage and their team was actively working on a fix. “X is aware that some users are facing performance issues. Our team is working continuously to resolve the data center outage,” the post read.
Earlier in March, Elon Musk disclosed that a large-scale cyberattack targeted X, affecting millions of users worldwide, including those in India. The platform suffered a significant global outage, making it inaccessible to many.
“We face attacks daily, but this one was highly coordinated and resource-intensive. It likely involved a large group or even a nation,” Musk said in a post. He described it as an ongoing cyberattack aimed at silencing both him and the platform.
Musk acquired X in October 2022 for $44 billion. Since then, the platform has remained mostly stable compared to competitors like Facebook and Instagram.
