Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, is experiencing widespread issues on Monday morning, with users across the globe struggling to load posts or access the site.
Many attempting to use the platform are being met with error messages, including “Something went wrong, try reloading,” prompting frustration among users. The extent of the outage remains unclear, and X has yet to comment on the reported disruption.
The platform, which was acquired by billionaire Elon Musk in 2022, has undergone sweeping changes since the takeover. Musk rebranded Twitter as X, cut the majority of its workforce, scrapped the traditional verified account system in favour of paid subscriptions, and relaxed content moderation policies.
The latest issues come amid ongoing criticism of the platform’s reliability under Musk’s ownership, with previous outages and glitches sparking concerns over the impact of staff cuts on its infrastructure.
It remains unclear what has caused Monday’s problems or when full service will be restored.
