X

Elon Musk attributes the intermittent outages of platform X's services to a 'massive cyberattack.' The issues began around 5:40AM ET on Monday, with no clear indication of when they will be fully resolved. The disturbances have impeded the platform's regular operations without explicit information regarding the cause. Previous incidents involving X, such as the crash of Spaces during an event with Donald Trump, were also ascribed to cyberattacks by Musk, though internal staff refuted those claims. The outages influence the reliability and accessibility of the platform, potentially affecting user trust and the company's reputation.
