Recently, the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) experienced multiple outages, causing user dissatisfaction and concern. Reports indicate that since 5:40 AM ET on Monday, X has been experiencing instability, with users frequently unable to access the platform. However, X has yet to release a statement regarding the cause or resolution timeline of these outages.
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, attributed the outages to a "massive cyberattack." He took to social media to claim the attack significantly impacted the platform's operation.
It's worth noting that a similar crash occurred on X during an online conversation with Donald Trump last year. Musk also suggested a cyberattack as a possibility at that time. However, X employees later stated that the previous crash was not caused by a cyberattack.
Users are currently awaiting further clarification from X regarding this incident. The lack of a definitive fix time has led to confusion and frustration expressed by many users on other social media platforms. As the outages continue, X's operations team needs to quickly identify the cause and communicate with users to restore confidence.
