Musk owned social media platform has just experienced its first major worldwide outage, though it seems the service is on the mend.
  • X, the former Twitter, has experienced a worldwide outage as of 12PM on Monday CAT.
  • This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.
  • The outage seems to have only lasted for about half an hour.

    Didn’t Twitter go down multiple times for similar periods of time not long after Musk fired everybody? Or am I just hallucinating wishful thinking.

      Yeah I seem to remember quite a few “oh so that’s what that wire does” situations that unfolded already.

          I remember there was a time after Musk took over that they changed the API so that only logged in users could access it. That broke all of their widgets on third-party websites, which Twitter neglected to update. The widgets phoned home every few seconds, which DDOSed themselves with their own widgets.

      I dunno about going down entirely, but bits and pieces (like SMS verification) definitely broke while they were undoing work and cutting “expenses” (like office leases)
