Millions of users worldwide were unable to access X on Tuesday after a sudden outage disrupted both its website and mobile application, leaving only the company’s logo visible instead of the usual stream of posts.
The disruption, which began early Tuesday, prevented users from loading their feeds, posting updates, or accessing other core features of the platform. Many users reported that the app and website appeared frozen on the logo screen, raising concerns and frustration among its global community.
As of the time of filing this report, the company had not issued any official statement explaining the cause of the outage or indicating when full service would be restored.
Data from outage-monitoring platform Down Detector showed that the problem was widespread, affecting users across multiple countries and regions simultaneously. The tracker recorded a sharp spike in complaints, confirming that the disruption was not limited to a specific location.
Unlike several other major social media platforms, X does not operate a dedicated public status page where users can easily monitor service interruptions or technical issues. Instead, updates are often communicated through posts on the platform itself.
However, during Tuesday’s outage, even official accounts—including those associated with the company and its owner, Elon Musk—were inaccessible, leaving users without immediate information about the situation.
The outage highlights the heavy reliance of millions of individuals, businesses, and organizations on the platform for communication, news, and real-time engagement. Users continue to await clarification from the company regarding the cause of the disruption and the timeline for full restoration of services.
