X, Elon Musk’s social media platform is experiencing a major outage
X has stopped working in what appears to be a major outage.
The site, formerly known as Twitter, refused to load in both its app and website form. Opening the website instead showed the company’s “X” logo and none of the usual posts.
The outage began early and the company has yet to confirm what might have caused it or when it will be back online.
The problem appears to be affecting users right across the world, according to tracking website Down Detector.
Unlike many other major platforms, X does not operate any kind of status page for giving updates on outages to users.
The company, and its owner, Elon Musk, has not yet confirmed the cause of the widespread disruption and there is currently no information available regarding when the service will be restored.
Last month, the website and app also went down for thousands of users, taking nearly all day to come back.
