From BreitbartElon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter, is grappling with multiple significant outages within a span of just one day, leaving users worldwide unable to access the platform. In a post to the still shaky platform, Musk wrote, “There was (still is) a massive cyberattack against X.”

Toms Guide reports that X, the social media giant formerly known as Twitter, has faced multiple major outages in a single day, causing frustration and confusion among its vast user base. The first outage occurred early in the morning, with reports peaking at around 21,000 on the website Downdetector. The issue was resolved relatively quickly, and the platform appeared to be functioning normally for a few hours.

However, the return to operations was short-lived, as a second, more severe outage hit X just a few hours later. This time, the number of reports on Downdetector skyrocketed to over 40,000, indicating a much larger problem. Users from major cities across the United States, including New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, reported being unable to access the platform through both the website and the mobile app.

Speculation about the cause of the outages began to circulate, with some users suggesting that X might be the target of a series of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks involve flooding a website or service with an overwhelming amount of traffic, rendering it inaccessible to legitimate users. A group known as “Dark Storm Team” claimed responsibility for the attacks on social media, but these claims have not been independently verified.


At 1:25 pm ET, Musk announced in a post on X, “There was (still is) a massive cyberattack against 𝕏. We get attacked every day, but this was done with a lot of resources. Either a large, coordinated group and/or a country is involved. Tracing …”

One X user responded, “They want to silence you and this platform.”

“Yes,” Musk replied.

Gen. Mike Flynn warned, “Check to see if the CIA was acting behind the scenes first before going off on China or Russia please. There is a silent war still on going inside of the United States to undermine the admin of @realDonaldTrump.”

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) wrote: “They tried to bankrupt & jail @realDonaldTrump. They’re now coming after @elonmusk (& @Tesla & @X). It won’t stop with them. These are the tactics of communists. They’d rather burn it all down than lose power. Now’s the time to take a stand. The stakes couldn’t be any higher.”
