X Down for Thousands of Users in India
In a sudden and unexpected turn of events, Elon Musk-owned social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has gone down for thousands of users in India and abroad. The outage has left many users frustrated and unable to access their accounts, share updates, or engage with others on the platform.
According to data available on DownDetector, a popular website that tracks website and app outages, over 25,000 reports of the platform being down globally have been received. This includes about 2,200 reports from Indian users alone. The outage has been reported across various regions, with about 70% of users experiencing issues with the X app and 22% reporting issues with its website.
The outage has been a major talking point on social media, with many users taking to other platforms to express their frustration and disappointment. “X is down again. What’s going on, @elonmusk?!” tweeted one user. “Can’t believe X is down again. It’s like they don’t care about their users,” wrote another.
The outage is not the first of its kind for X. The platform has faced several major outages in the past, including a 12-hour outage in 2020 that affected millions of users worldwide. However, this latest outage has left many users wondering if the platform is still stable and reliable enough to be used as a primary means of communication.
So, what might be causing the outage? While X has not officially commented on the issue, there are a few possible reasons that could be contributing to the problem. One possibility is that the platform’s infrastructure is not robust enough to handle the large volume of users and data it is processing. Another possibility is that the platform is experiencing issues with its servers or network connectivity, which could be causing the outage.
It’s worth noting that X has been going through a major transformation under Elon Musk’s leadership. The billionaire entrepreneur acquired the platform in 2022 and has been working to revamp its features and user interface. While the changes have been welcomed by many users, they have also caused some disruptions and glitches on the platform.
The outage is not limited to X’s mobile app. Users have also reported issues with the platform’s website, including difficulties accessing their accounts or posting updates. This has left many users unable to access their content or engage with others on the platform.
In addition to the issues users are facing, the outage is also causing problems for businesses and organizations that rely on X for communication and marketing. Many companies use X to reach their customers and promote their products or services, and the outage is causing them to miss out on potential sales and engagement.
As the outage continues to affect thousands of users in India and abroad, it remains to be seen when the platform will be restored to normal functioning. In the meantime, users are left to wonder what is causing the problem and when they will be able to access their accounts again.
