Elon Musk’s social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, suffered a major global outage on Friday, leaving millions of users unable to access the app or website. The issue has affected both mobile and desktop users, with over 5,000 reports logged on Downdetector globally.
Elon Musk-owned X (formerly known as Twitter) is reportedly facing a massive global outage. Several users have been reporting that they are unable to access their platform or even make a post on it. It was further reported that the app, as well as the website, is not working for thousands of Indian users and in other parts of the world as well.
This is not the first time that X has been down, and the owners have yet not address or stated about the issue.
