Elon Musk’s social media platform X stopped working on Monday evening following an outage. By 7.30pm IST, monitoring website DownDetector showed thousands of users reporting issues. It was unclear whether the X outage was related to Cloudflare’s issues. Unlike other brands, X does not have a dedicated status page explaining its response to ongoing issues when its service goes down. By late evening, DownDetector showed more than 41,000 reports of outages at its peak.
