Elon Musk's X temporarily down for tens of thousands of users

About 25,000 users reported issues with the platform, according to the analytics platform Downdetector, which gathers data from users to monitor issues with various platforms. Roughly 21,000 users reported issues just after 8:30 a.m. ET, per the analytics platform.

The issues appeared to be largely resolved by around 10 a.m., but some users experienced intermittent issues with the platform until about 11 a.m.

It's the second time in less than a week that users experienced issues with the platform, after X also experienced an outage on Thursday.

"As evidenced by the uptime issues this week, major operational improvements need to be made," Musk wrote on X in response to a post about the Saturday outage.

"The failover redundancy should have worked, but did not."

"Back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in conference/server/factory rooms," he wrote.

The billionaire founder of Tesla and SpaceX also said that he "must be super focused" on the companies, "as we have critical technologies rolling out."
