Social media platform X has experienced widespread disruptions today, with users around the world reporting difficulties in accessing applications and websites. The destruction has left many unable to view their X feed, which has caused frustration and speculation on other social media platforms.
According to DownDetector, tracking outages of services online by aggregating reports from multiple sources, including errors extracted by users, has affected a large number of individuals. Data from the website suggests that more than 1,000 people cannot access X at 3 p.m.
DownDetector’s data is based on user-reported issues, so the actual number of affected users may vary. As the disruptions continue, many users turn to alternative platforms such as Facebook and Reddit to verify the disruptions and discuss their impact. Social media chats quickly gained momentum, with many expressing their concerns and looking for potential explanations.
At present, X has not issued an official statement regarding the cause of the power outage or is expected to restore all functions. It is recommended that users monitor official channels for updates as the situation develops.
One user @heyitspixel humorously pointed out: “X is a drop. Post it on X so people know that X is a drop.”
Another user tagged Elon Musk and said, “๐’s down! Who else thinks they’re suspended? ๐ @elonmusk, what happened to my friend? Did anyone trip over the server cable and unplug it?”
