X Outage Resolved Quickly Amid Leadership Concerns

On Friday afternoon, X (formerly Twitter) suffered a significant global outage that left millions unable to access core features, with over 15,000 complaints reported at its peak. The outage, which was resolved in under an hour, most heavily affected major US cities but was also reported worldwide. This incident marked the third major disruption on the platform within a week, adding to concerns about ongoing technical instability under Elon Musk's ownership. The outage coincided with Musk's farewell visit to the White House as his temporary role in the Trump administration ended and followed recent critical media coverage about his conduct. Despite the repeated failures, X has not provided an official explanation for the cause, and Musk has remained largely silent on the matter. The recurring outages have raised questions about the management and reliability of the platform.
