More than 40,000 users reported outages on Elon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday morning, according to DownDetector.com.
A spike of reports that the app had crashed came in around 6 a.m., and thousands more poured in around 9:30 a.m., according to the crash tracking site.
The app continuously buffered as it tried to load news and memes for users, and displayed an error message: “Posts aren’t loading right now.”
X did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Frustrated users quickly turned to Threads, a rival app launched by Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta in 2023, to ask others whether they were experiencing the same glitches.
