X Global Outage: Users Unable to Access App, Website

May 24, 2025 — X Global Outage: Elon Musk’s social media platform X has once again come under the spotlight, but not for the right reasons. For the second consecutive day, users across the globe were left frustrated as the app and website experienced widespread outages, preventing access and login for thousands.

X down: Reports of the platform being down began surfacing late Saturday evening, with outage tracking service Downdetector showing a sharp rise in complaints around 6:20 p.m. IST. At that time, the platform registered 2,212 outage reports in India alone, highlighting a significant disruption.

The breakdown wasn’t isolated to one aspect of the platform. According to Downdetector data:

• 49% of users faced issues with the mobile application.
• 30% encountered problems while attempting to log in.
• 21% reported that the official website was also non-functional.

Globally, the picture was even grimmer. According to a report by Reuters, over 25,000 users reported similar access issues, painting a picture of a widespread technical collapse that echoed the problems users faced just a day earlier on May 23.

Users React with Frustration

Social media forums and rival platforms quickly lit up with complaints and memes as users attempted to understand the cause of the outage. Many speculated whether the platform was under maintenance, under attack, or simply struggling with internal server failures.

The disruption comes at a crucial time, as X continues its transformation journey under Musk’s leadership, aiming to become an “everything app” with features far beyond microblogging. However, back-to-back outages may raise questions about infrastructure stability and user trust.

No Official Response Yet

As of the time of this report, X has not issued any official statement addressing the nature or reason behind the recurring outage. Elon Musk, known for his quick and often cryptic responses on the platform, has also remained silent.

A Growing Concern?

Technical hiccups are not new for tech giants, but the frequency and global scale of these issues raise concerns about the backend capabilities of X. In an ecosystem where real-time communication is paramount, reliability is key — and two days of downtime could dent user confidence and brand reputation.

This is a developing story, and further updates are expected as more information becomes available. For now, users are left hoping for a swift resolution — and a return to business as usual on their go-to social platform.
