Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, showed signs of recovery on Saturday after a widespread outage left thousands of users across the United States without access.
According to Downdetector.com, reports of service disruption peaked at over 10,000 before dropping to around 1,041 by 7:42 p.m. ET.
Downdetector, which monitors outages based on user-submitted reports and other sources, indicated that the true scale of the outage may vary.
In a recent post on X, Elon Musk acknowledged the platform’s technical struggles, stating, “As evidenced by the X uptime issues this week, major operational improvements need to be made.” Musk, who has publicly committed to spending “24/7” on work across his companies—including X, xAI, and Tesla—also mentioned sleeping in server rooms to focus on upcoming tech rollouts.
