On Friday morning, X and Grok went offline for users around the world on both the websites and apps. Outage reports began spiking on DownDetector around 10:00AM ET, while Cisco’s ThousandEyes outage map noted over 600 X servers around the world that were having problems.
Attempts to load the site with either the Twitter.com or X.com addresses were showing a Cloudflare connection error or failing to show any posts or feeds initially. It’s currently unclear what caused the outage, and while the site is back up for many users, it’s still not working normally yet, frequently displaying “Something went wrong. Try reloading.”
The website and app began coming back online for some users around 11AM ET. However, the problems seem to be on and off, with the website and app coming back online for some users and showing updated posts, but with continued issues loading feeds and displaying the most recent posts.
X has not yet responded to The Verge’s requests for comment. We will update this article if there is more information available.
