Social media platform X experienced a major service disruption on Saturday, affecting thousands of users across the United States. According to outage tracking site Downdetector.com, user reports peaked at over 10,000 but declined to around 1,041 by 7:42 p.m. ET, signaling a gradual recovery. Downdetector aggregates user-submitted reports, meaning actual figures may differ.
This marks the latest in a series of operational issues for X, formerly known as Twitter, which has seen recurring outages in recent months. In March, Elon Musk attributed a similar incident to a cyberattack. No official statement has yet been issued by X regarding the cause of Saturday’s disruption.
Musk, who acquired the platform in 2022, recently acknowledged ongoing technical challenges. “As evidenced by the X uptime issues this week, major operational improvements need to be made,” he posted on X. He added that he is returning to an intense work schedule, dedicating himself to X, xAI, Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), and the upcoming Starship launch.
In May, Musk recommitted to a “24/7” work mode, stating he was once again sleeping in conference rooms and server facilities to oversee critical technology developments. His redoubled efforts come as he continues to juggle multiple ventures, including artificial intelligence firm xAI and aerospace company SpaceX.
Musk also made headlines for his political donations, reportedly spending nearly $300 million to support Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and other Republican candidates in 2024.
The latest outage underlines the ongoing reliability issues facing X under Musk’s leadership, raising concerns among users and stakeholders about the platform’s long-term stability and infrastructure. Investors and analysts are closely monitoring Musk’s handling of X’s technical and strategic direction.
