X, formerly Twitter, experienced its third major outage in four days on Thursday, with thousands of users globally reporting disruptions. Problems included timelines not loading and posts failing to refresh, affecting both the mobile app and the desktop site.
Users encountering the issue were shown an error message stating "Something went wrong. Try reloading." This latest incident follows two previous outages earlier in the week.
One occurred on Tuesday, leaving the platform offline for approximately an hour. The article also mentions that X was affected by a broader internet issue on Wednesday caused by a Cloudflare outage.
X has not yet officially commented on Thursday's widespread disruption. However, the platform has seen an increase in service interruptions over the past year, which the article attributes to significant staffing reductions and technical restructuring under Elon Musk's ownership.
As of Thursday afternoon, some users reported intermittent access issues, while others noted the service beginning to stabilize.
