Tens of thousands of users were left unable to access Elon Musk’s social media platform X on Friday, with outages reported across multiple countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.
The platform’s app and website both appeared affected, with users encountering error messages and feeds failing to load properly.
According to data from Downdetector, nearly 78,000 users in the U.S., around 18,000 in the UK, more than 8,000 in Canada, and over 6,000 in Australia reported issues.
In the UK alone, around 20,000 reports were logged shortly after 15:00 GMT, with another surge in problems before 16:00 GMT as timelines flickered between resuming and failing to load fully.
While the specific trigger for Friday’s disruption is unclear, technology specialists warn that similar outages are almost certain to occur again.
X has returned online after the earlier outage, with both the app and website reportedly functioning normally. Users around the world are once again able to access timelines and post content, following several hours of intermittent disruptions.
The platform has yet to issue a detailed statement regarding the outage.
