Chaos erupted in the digital sphere Saturday as Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) crashed for tens of thousands of U.S. users, sparking memes and frustration across social media. Outage tracker Downdetector reported over 25,000 incident reports by 8:39 AM EDT, with the platform partially malfunctioning for hours.
🔌 Users faced broken timelines, error messages, and sporadic access – a vibe best described as 'Wi-Fi at a music festival.' The hashtag #TwitterDown trended globally as people scrambled to share their experiences (ironically, mostly on other apps).
CGTN Digital confirmed partial outages during testing, with timelines disappearing like Snapchat stories. While some official accounts regained functionality, the glitch left many asking: Is this the real life, or just a server-side simulation? 🎮
Though no official cause was given, tech watchers are already serving hot takes ☕️ – from cloud server hiccups to that one intern who 'accidentally' deleted the main database. As X continues its rebranding journey, this outage proves even billion-dollar platforms aren't immune to the dreaded '404 vibe check.'
