Today, Elon Musk’s X social network experienced a global outage that lasted more than an hour. There were complaints from platform users that they lost the ability to read posts due to an unknown bug. The X Pro app formerly known as TweetDeck didn’t work either.

Users could still connect to Spaces’ audio rooms and view messages, but posts disappeared from streams and profiles, and opening in direct addresses was discontinued. Web monitoring platform DownDetector has recorded more than 65,000 complaints since Dec. 20 at 9:10 p.m. PT.

This is not the first large-scale failure in the work of X: in the first months after the acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk, the new management greatly reduced staff, which led to an increase in the number of security vulnerabilities and unstable operation. platform. However, in recent months the social network has operated quite steadily. A major disruption in the work of the platform, which was then still called Twitter, occurred in early July, when the administration restricted users from reading posts.
