Musk owned social media platform has just experienced its first major worldwide outage, though it seems the service is on the mend.
  • X, the former Twitter, has experienced a worldwide outage as of 12PM on Monday CAT.
  • This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.
  • The outage seems to have only lasted for about half an hour.

    Didn’t Twitter go down multiple times for similar periods of time not long after Musk fired everybody? Or am I just hallucinating wishful thinking.

      Yeah I seem to remember quite a few “oh so that’s what that wire does” situations that unfolded already.

        Do we know if that was real or if the media was just exaggerating things

      I dunno about going down entirely, but bits and pieces (like SMS verification) definitely broke while they were undoing work and cutting “expenses” (like office leases)
