If you had trouble using X today, you're not alone. DownDetector reports that
over 5,000 people have reported issues accessing the social media platform as
of 4PM ET. X's official Engineering account claims the issue is due to a data
center outage.

"X is aware some of our users are experiencing performance issues on the
platform today," X's Engineering account writes. "We are experiencing a data
center outage and the team is actively working to remediate the issue." The
platform last experienced a major outage in March 2025, which X CEO Elon Musk
blamed on a "massive cyberattack" at the time. Security researchers who
looked into the issue later said it was poor security on X's part that left
the company's servers vulnerable to attack.

X is aware some of our users are experiencing performance issues on the
platform today. We are experiencing a data center outage and the team is
actively working to remediate the issue.
