Following an outage that interfered with access for thousands of users in the United States, social media platform X began to show indications of recovery on Saturday, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com.
By 7:42 pm ET, the number of disruption reports had decreased to about 1,041 from a peak of over 10,000, according to Downdetector, which monitors outages by compiling status reports from many sources.
The figures in Downdetector are derived from reports that users have submitted. The precise number of impacted users may differ.
Musk, who last year spent around $300 million in supporting the presidential campaign of the U.S. President Donald Trump and other Republicans, announced in May that he would return to working “24/7” at his businesses.
“I’m going back to working around the clock and sleeping in server, conference, and factory rooms. We have important technology coming out, therefore I must be really focused on X/xAI and Tesla (plus Starship launch next week),” Musk had stated in an X post.
“As evidenced by the X uptime issues this week, major operational improvements need to be made,” he stated.
Musk had attributed a comparable outage at X earlier in March to a hack.
A request for comment from Reuters was not immediately answered by X.
