Elon Musk-owned social media platform X experienced a major global outage on Monday, March 10, leaving users unable to access the platform via its website or app.
The disruption began at approximately 3:40 PM IST, with several reports logged on outage tracking website Downdetector.com.
According to Downdetector, more than 21,000 users in the United States and over 10,800 users in the United Kingdom reported issues.
The outage also affected users in India and other regions. However, since Downdetector’s data is based on user reports, the actual number of affected individuals may be higher.
Downdetector.com said that 56% of problems were reported for the X app, while 33% were reported for the website.
This marks the first major outage X has faced in 2025. The last significant disruption occurred in September 2024, when the platform remained inaccessible for over an hour.
In March 2023 the social media platform then known as Twitter experienced a bevy of glitches for over an hour as links stopped working, some users were unable to log in and images were not loading for others.
As of now, X has not issued an official statement on the cause of the outage or provided a timeline for restoring full functionality. Users are advised to monitor the platform’s official channels for updates as the situation unfolds.
