Users of X, formerly known as Twitter, are currently experiencing a widespread outage affecting both the website and mobile application, marking the second major disruption to the platform this week.

The Elon Musk-owned social network began experiencing significant technical issues around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 24, 2025, leaving millions of users unable to access the service.

According to monitoring service DownDetector.co.uk, user complaints skyrocketed from just 66 to over 11,000 within minutes, reaching their peak at approximately 1:39 p.m. The rapid surge in reports indicates the widespread nature of the outage.

This disruption comes barely 48 hours after a previous major outage on Thursday evening, May 22, which affected critical platform features including direct messages, login functionality, and access to various sections of the platform across both mobile and desktop interfaces.

The recurring technical issues raise questions about the platform's infrastructure stability under Musk's leadership, who acquired the company in a high-profile $44 billion deal in 2022 before rebranding it from Twitter to X.

As of the time of reporting, X has not released an official statement regarding the cause of the outage or an estimated time for service restoration. Users worldwide continue to report inability to access their accounts, post updates, or view content on the platform.

The platform serves as a critical communication tool for millions globally, including government officials, businesses, and news organizations, making extended outages particularly disruptive.
