As of today, November 18, 2025, Elon Musk's social media platform X (formerly Twitter) is experiencing a widespread outage affecting thousands of users in India. Reports indicate that the disruption is not limited to India, suggesting a global issue.
Users have taken to other social media platforms to express their frustration, reporting that they are met with a "Something went wrong. Try reloading" message when attempting to access the X app. Downdetector.com, a website that tracks outages, logged over 10,000 reports from users struggling to access X around 5:20 PM.
The outage appears to be impacting various aspects of the platform. According to Downdetector, the problems are mainly related to the feed (47%), website (30%), and server connection (23%). While the cause of the outage remains unclear, the widespread nature of the disruption suggests a significant technical issue.
The outage has affected both mobile app and desktop users. Many users are unable to refresh their feeds or access new content. The disruption is a major inconvenience for individuals and organizations that rely on X for communication, news, and information sharing.
This is not the first time X has experienced outages since Elon Musk acquired the company. Previous incidents have raised concerns about the platform's reliability and stability. The current outage is likely to intensify these concerns and prompt further scrutiny of X's infrastructure and management.
The company has yet to release an official statement regarding the cause of the outage or an estimated time for resolution. Users are advised to monitor X's official communication channels for updates. Until the issue is resolved, users will be unable to access the platform's features and services. This widespread disruption highlights the challenges of maintaining a large-scale social media platform and the potential impact of technical issues on millions of users worldwide.
