Overview
- Users across the United States, Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and other countries reported feeds failing to load on web and mobile, with errors affecting log‑ins, posts and direct messages.
- Downdetector recorded tens of thousands of reports at the peak, including more than 50,000 in the U.S. and over 4,000 in Spain around the same window.
- The interruption extended to Grok, xAI’s chatbot integrated into the platform, which users said stopped functioning normally.
- X issued no statement on the cause or restoration timeline, and media suggestions of Cloudflare-related issues remained unconfirmed.
- Friday’s breakdown followed a shorter outage earlier in the week, reinforcing concerns about recurring reliability problems since Elon Musk’s restructuring; some users later observed service gradually returning in parts of the world.
