Social media platform X faced another outage today, leaving thousands of users unable to access key features. This led to several complaints about feed loading problems, app malfunctions, and website usability issues and renewed questions regarding Elon Musk's ownership of the platform.
At the time of reporting, Downdetector showed that problems started to surface on X around 8:22 AM, with complaints in the US reaching over 3,000. Compared to this, limited complaints were recorded from India.
The outage-tracking platform data detailed that most impacted users had issues with the mobile app. Approximately 40% of users reported problems with the app and 29% had issues with feeds and timelines. A further 18% experienced problems accessing the website. The outage appeared to last between 30 and 40 minutes, but services gradually began to resume.
As users struggled to access X, they took to alternative channels and the Downdetector comment section to post expereinces.
One user wrote, "Is X Search down for anyone else too? The endpoint just throws a 'Dependency: Unspecified' error." Another frustrated user commented, "I'm tired, Elon. I'm so tired. Just delete the website."
The incident resulted in an unusual situation where users lost their primary source of outage notifications and reactions from X.
The recent incident comes just one day after users complained of similar problems on Tuesday. The simultaneous outages have added to concerns about a string of technical issues impacting the platform.
According to reports, X has faced multiple outages since early 2025, with disruptions reported in January, February, and May impacting users in several countries. Previous incidents led to thousands of complaints globally, such as failing to log in, refreshing the feed, or loading new posts.

The frequent outages have brought into question the company's infrastructure as it continues to make operational and technical changes.
Reliability problems are not just occurring on X. Facebook and Instagram, owned by Meta, also experienced mass disruptions this past month in various regions.
At this time, X has not made an official statement regarding the reason for the outage. There has been no formal explanation provided for the disruption, which has left users waiting for clarity as to what caused the disruption and what further steps will be taken to avoid further service interruptions.
