X outage leaves app and website down, thousands report issues worldwide
Elon Musk’s social media platform X stopped working on Monday evening following an outage. The site, formerly known as Twitter, failed to load on both its app and website.
By 7.30pm IST, monitoring website DownDetector showed thousands of users reporting issues. Since Musk acquired the platform in 2022, X has experienced several major disruptions. Last March, the world’s richest man blamed a “massive cyberattack” for a series of outages. Back then, Dark Storm, a pro-Palestinian “hacktivist” group, claimed responsibility for the attack via the messaging app Telegram.
