X (formerly Twitter) goes OFF AIR as users in the US and worldwide report outage
X (formerly Twitter) experienced an outage on Thursday, with users around the world reporting problems.
The problems started around 3:45 p.m. Eastern Time and affected people in North America, the United Kingdom and Europe, all of whom had difficulty using Elon Musk’s social media site.
Tens of thousands of people reported problems on the Downdetector website. This is likely a gross underestimation of the total number of affected users.
The most common complaints were about issues loading content on the mobile app, but there also appear to be issues on the website.

It happens almost exactly 24 hours after Reddit experienced an outage.
Some users who still had access to X this afternoon joked that Brazil was behind the outage.
Musk has insulted Brazilian officials on the platform over a row over censorship.
