X (formerly Twitter) experienced a global outage today, March 10, 2025, leaving many users unable to access the platform. The disruption, which affected both the app and website, sparked frustration and confusion among users worldwide.
Reports of the outage began to surface around 3:20 PM IST, with users encountering error messages such as “Something went wrong, try reloading.”
Downdetector, a website that monitors online outages, registered a spike in reports, with over 21,000 reports of service disruptions in the United States alone.
The impact of the outage varied across regions. In the U.S., the majority of affected users reported issues with the X app, while others experienced problems with the website or encountered login issues.
In India, fewer complaints were registered, with most users struggling to access the website.
The exact cause of the outage remains unclear, as X has not yet released an official statement regarding the issue.
However, the outage sparked concerns about the platform’s reliability and security, especially given its importance in modern communication.
Despite the disruption, some users turned to humor, posting memes and jokes about the situation on other social media platforms. One user posted a photo of a cartoon man with a giant head floating amid crying people, saying, “Posting this on X so people know about X being down”. Another user asked, “@Elon Musk what happened my friend?” and shared an unplugging video.
Update: X is now fully operational, with all systems functioning effectively.
