Musk and Xās engineering team have yet to comment on the temporary outage. At the time of the outage, Xās developer platform status page still listed all systems as operational.
X has seen periodic service disruptions. In March 2025, a major outage led to more than 40,000 user reports of login and service problems, with Musk suggesting the platform may have been targeted by a nation-state or a group with comparable technical expertise.
