Elon Musk’s X hit by another service outage

Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, encountered yet another widespread disruption on Tuesday, affecting users in the United States, India, and several other countries. This marks the platform’s second outage across multiple regions within the same week.

According to outage monitoring site Downdetector, around 7 pm local time, user reports in India stood at approximately 30. In contrast, the United States recorded a significant rise in complaints, with around 400 reports logged at the same time.

In the US, 49% of affected users reported issues with the website, 41% experienced problems with the mobile app, and 10% cited server connection difficulties. In India, 53% of users reported server connectivity problems, followed by 29% facing login issues and 18% encountering app-related disruptions.


The company has yet to release an official explanation for the cause of this latest outage.

Just days earlier, on Saturday, X experienced a far more severe disruption. Reports peaked at over 2,000 in India and soared past 26,000 in the United States.

At the time, the platform’s engineering team had commented: “We’re still experiencing issues from yesterday’s data centre outage. Login and signup services are unavailable for some users, and there may be delays in notifications and Premium features.”
