Elon Musk‘s X platform, formerly known as Twitter, experienced a major outage, leaving users worldwide in suspense for more than an hour. The Dogefather’s Dog Park faced temporary disruptions, both on mobile apps and the web.
Users found themselves unable to refresh timelines. X users were greeted only by a placeholder message that read, “Welcome to X! This is the best place to see what’s happening in your world. Find some people and topics to follow now.”
According to the details from Down Detector, over 80,800 users have reported about the issue. The data shows that 71% reported issues with the app and 23% reported issues with the website.
The outage was fixed around 1:35 a.m. ET. Although access to timelines was eventually restored, the cause behind the disruption remains a mystery. During the outage, interestingly, users could still post to the site. However, these posts vanished upon refreshing. Accounts with notifications turned on continued to appear in the feed, along with push notifications for new posts.
Even amidst the chaos, New York Times reporter Ryan Mac hosted a Space with over 800 participants passionately discussing the outage, despite being unable to view new posts.
The blackout extended to high-profile accounts, including Elon Musk himself. These accounts were rendered temporarily useless, with timelines unable to display any valuable information. Despite the outage, Musk or X haven’t released a report on the exact reason for the outage.
