What happened this morning on X (formerly Twitter)? A major outage occurred at 6 a.m. this Thursday on the social network, on a global scale. Consequence: no more publications were accessible either on the application or on the official X website. It was only from 7:50 a.m. that the two information threads – the recommended onefor you» and that of “subscriptions» – were available again. At this time, neither Elon Musk (owner of the platform) nor the official X account have commented on the incident.
According to the monitoring site DownDetector.fr, specialized in reporting malfunctions, several tens of thousands of reports had been made by users of X (formerly Twitter) around the world. “User reports indicate problems on X (Twitter)“, indicated the site, specifying that these reports began to increase just before 6 a.m. The platform’s news feeds were empty and no new tweets were visible, although the twitter.com website was available and the “spaces» visible.
