Elon Musk's social media platform X (formerly Twitter) experienced a widespread service outage but has since been restored.

According to Downdetector, a website that monitors internet service status, the outage on X began around 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on June 22.

In the United States, reports of the outage peaked at approximately 34,000 cases around 9:54 a.m. before gradually stabilizing, dropping to the hundreds by noon.

The disruption occurred simultaneously in regions outside of the United States as well.

There were up to 3,200 reports in Canada and 8,700 reports in the United Kingdom.

In South Korea, about 340 cases were reported.

Downdetector tracks service outages by aggregating status reports from various sources. Since it relies on reports submitted directly by users, the actual number of users affected may differ from the number of reports.
