Elon Musk’s X was inaccessible on Monday morning for thousands of users, including many in the U.S.
According to Downdetector, a website that tracks users’ reports of online outages, X went down for some users around 5:30 AM ET, with over 20,000 users reporting outages. Though these outages seemed to have resolved after about an hour, the outages returned around 9:30 AM ET, with more than 40,000 users reporting issues.
As of 10:30 AM ET, the outages are ongoing, though some users have reported that they have been able to access the site again.
X has not commented on the cause of the outage.
Occasional outages are normal for platforms of this size, but are never convenient for their users — as one user lamented in the comments on Downdetector, “on day 1 of the NFL free agency!? ELON Fix this.”
