Elon Musk’s short message service X (formerly Twitter) was affected by a serious disruption on Thursday. The users’ timelines were only updated sporadically, and thousands of those affected reported problems with platforms such as alletreib.de.
X initially did not comment on the disruption. But since tech billionaire Musk bought Twitter a year ago and significantly reduced costs, such incidents have occurred again and again.
Musk’s recently published biography revealed that one of the outages was partly caused by the owner’s own hand in moving servers, which his experts warned against. However, there hasn’t been an outage as widespread as Thursday’s for a long time.
