Is X Down? Thousands Report Outage on Elon Musk's Platform
Newsweak ^

Social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, suffered a brief outage before coming back online.

The outage lasted around 20 minutes before the site was restored to full functions.

Currently @ 10:00 AM EST, from the NYC metro area, I cannot load the X website in a web browser.

The X app is not updating either.

Both were giving me slowness issues earlier this AM, but now nothing.

Are others having similar issues?

It was out this morning around 5:30 AM EDT. I just thought it was having trouble with the time change like I was.

Wait?

That’s an actual real article?

Twitter goes down for a little while and it’s because Musk reduced the staff?

(As if Facebook and other sites never crash)
