X users report intermittent outages

There were more than 21,000 incidents of people reporting issues with the platform in the US and more than 10,800 incidents in the UK, according to Downdetector, which tracks outages by collating status reports from a number of sources.

The social media platform X, formerly Twitter, was experiencing intermittent outages 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 am Eastern time, after which the site and app seemed to resume functioning.

But at about 10 am, more problems arose, and there were 41,00 reports of outages on X, according to Downdetector. Shortly after 11 am, a third spike of reported outages emerged, and the site remained down for many users.

More than half of the outage reports were from users of the app, Downdetector’s data showed.
