Social media platform X experienced a service outage, with over 1,000 users reporting problems related to app access, feed loading, and posting issues.
X down: Elon Musk’s social media platform X (formerly Twitter) experienced another major service disruption recently, recording more than 1,000 reports of access issues in the United States before the platform was restored, according to Downdetector outage data. Users reported problems such as being unable to load feeds, login, or post content during the incident.
This outage is not isolated. It follows multiple reported disruptions in recent weeks, with X going down for users globally and experiencing repeated outages for the second time in a short span, leaving many unable to access the platform across web and mobile interfaces.
During the peak of the outage, users reported widespread failures to load timelines and refresh content, prompting many to turn to alternative social platforms for updates. Outage tracking data showed significant spikes in problem reports, particularly from U.S. users, although X did not immediately release a detailed explanation for the underlying cause of the disruptions.
By midday during the latest incident, service levels had largely recovered, with the number of outage reports dropping sharply on tracking services. While issues appeared to be resolved, the recurrence of outages has raised questions about infrastructure stability and reliability on the platform running under Musk’s ownership.
The platform X experiences communication and content sharing problems together with real-time user engagement difficulties because of its recurring outages and access problems which affect all users but most severely impact journalists and businesses and worldwide users who depend on the system for news updates. The platform requires users to monitor their service status through either X official updates or their service status pages during all service outages.
