X Social Media Platform Experiences Widespread Outage Affecting Users Globally

Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, faced a widespread outage on Monday, leaving thousands of users around the world unable to access the site via mobile app or desktop.

The platform, previously known as Twitter, reportedly failed to load early in the day. Many users encountered a frozen screen with the X logo, while others who reached their feeds received an error message saying, “Something went wrong. Try reloading.”

X has yet to release an official statement explaining the cause of the disruption or when services will be fully restored.

Data from outage tracker Downdetector showed a sharp increase in complaints, indicating that the outage affected multiple countries, including Canada, Australia, France, Indonesia, Ghana, Nigeria, and Germany. Both mobile and desktop users were unable to refresh timelines, post updates, or use other key features.

This incident follows a series of technical difficulties for the platform. In November 2025, X and internet infrastructure company Cloudflare experienced a similar global outage that left users in the United States, India, Nigeria, and other countries unable to access timelines or send posts.

Despite recurring service interruptions, X remains one of the world’s most popular social media platforms. However, the latest outage has reignited concerns among users who depend on the platform for news, business, and real-time updates.
