Social media users are reporting that Elon Musk-owned app X is down for the second time in two days.

The website Downdetector has recorded a spike in users reporting an outage, with many unable to load their home pages and recent tweets from people they follow. Users said they were met with a message that read “Something went wrong. Try reloading”.

The outage was reported at around 7pm, with a spike of close to 60,000 users people recording issues.

Tonight’s X outage comes just weeks after Musk confirmed the site had been hit by a “massive cyberattack”.

“We get attacked every day, but this was done with a lot of resources. Either a large, coordinated group and/or a country is involved. Tracing …”

One user replied: “They want to silence you and this platform”, to which Musk replied “Yes”.

Another outage occurred only yesterday One user said: “X is currently down and no one is able to post, like, retweet, bookmark, or comment.”

Another added: “X is currently down for millions right now. Spaces are glitching. Posts aren’t refreshing. Mine is acting up as well. So don’t think it’s just you. It’s happening to many of us.”

A third user added: “Looks like X is going through another cyberattack. It seems to be down for a lot of people.”
