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.

    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.
