The social media platform X, formerly Twitter, was experiencing intermittent outages on Monday, mostly on its app, according to Downdetector, which tracks reports of problems from users on websites.
The first outages on X, which Elon Musk bought for $44 billion in 2022, were reported before 6 a.m. Eastern time, after which the site and app seemed to resume functioning. But at about 10 a.m. more problems arose, and there were 41,00 reports of outages on X, according to Downdetector. Shortly after 11 a.m., a third spike of reported outages emerged, and the site remained down for many users.
The cause of the disruption was not immediately clear. Mr. Musk said in a post on the platform that X had been the target of a “massive cyberattack,” possibly conducted by “a large, coordinated group” or a country. He did not provide details.
More than half of the outage reports were from users of the app, Downdetector’s data showed.
This is a developing story.
Elon Musk's net worth has dropped by $112 billion this year due to a decline in Tesla stock, according to Forbes. On March 6, the publication reported that Musk's peak net worth was $464 billion, reached on December 17, when Tesla stock closed at an all-time high of $480 per share.
