X — the social media platform owned by Elon Musk — experienced a major global outage on Monday, affecting users across multiple countries including India and the United States.

According to outage-tracking service Downdetector, reports in India surged to over 25,000 around 7:00 pm IST, while more than 23,000 users in the US also reported problems.

Users complained they could not:

  • Load posts
  • Access timelines
  • Use core platform features

The company has not yet issued an official explanation for the disruption.

The platform — acquired by Musk in 2022 for $44 billion — rarely faces large-scale outages compared to some competitors, making the disruption notable.
