Muscat: According to Downdetector.com, disruption reports surged past 40,000 in the U.S., while over 10,800 users in the UK also faced access issues. The outage follows a previous service interruption just hours earlier, raising concerns about the platform’s stability.
Despite the scale of the disruption, X has yet to issue an official statement or provide an explanation for the technical failure. Users, left in the dark, flocked to other social media platforms to express their frustration, sharing memes and speculating about potential causes.
Some believe ongoing infrastructure changes under Musk’s leadership may be contributing to the repeated outages, while others point to possible server failures or internal technical issues.
