If you’re having trouble accessing X, you’re not alone — the social media site is down for many users around the world right now.
According to Downdetector, the issues started at around at 2.47pm, when a large spike in reports appeared in both the US and UK. Right now, there are over 27,000 reports in the US and over 4,000 in the UK.
No official cause has been given for the outage yet, but you can follow all the latest news in this liveblog…
This looks like another big one

We haven’t seen a spike in reports about X issues this big for, well, a month since the last outage on February 16.
Right now, there are over 36,000 reports on Downdetector in the US and over 8,000 in the UK. In short, that’s big and more serious than the early stages of the February outage.
However, X is already working again for me after a brief period of error messages, so perhaps this one will be more short-lived.
X is recovering

Good news for fans of memes and doomscrolling — X seems to already be recovering from its earlier issues.
The site is now working for me and the reports have dropped sharply on Downdetector, falling to just over 14,000 in the US and around 3,700 in the UK.
I’ll be keeping an eye on this one to see if there are any aftershocks, but fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately for work productivity) Elon Musk’s social network seems to be back up and running.
