X, formerly known as Twitter, was experiencing serious malfunctions for thousands of users Friday.
Many users accessing X suddenly saw their entire feeds disappear, and the ability to post messages stopped working. On the home screen, this message appeared: “Welcome to X! This is the best place to see what’s happening in your world. Find some people and topics to follow now.” Users’ own posts were also inaccessible.
As of 4:21 p.m. ET, more than 34,000 users had logged error complaints with Downdetector, an uptime-monitoring site.
On the X Developer Platform status page, a message update said there was a “Site-wide outage” as of Friday at 4:20 p.m. ET. “Some X API endpoints are currently experiencing degraded performance,” the site said. “You may experience 503 errors for the following endpoints: Get User Timeline / Get Tweets / Get DM / Create Tweet.”
The outage occurred as Elon Musk, the tech mogul who owns X, visited the White House on Friday, where President Trump held a press conference in the Oval Office thanking Musk for his service to the administration in leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk on Thursday announced that he is stepping away from the administration, although he will continue to informally advise Trump, he said.
