People are just getting an error message when trying to scroll their newsfeed on X.
Around 2,000 users reported problems on DownDetector this afternoon, saying they were struggling to access both the app and the website.
When we tried to access the site, we saw only this: ‘Something went wrong. Try reloading.’
This was followed by a button saying ‘retry’.
Problems began shortly before 3pm and were still continuing intermittently an hour later, with the blue ‘wheel of death’ just spinning around and only sometimes loading posts.
Commenting on the problems, one disgruntled user wrote: ‘It’s gone again. Musk is such a genius businessperson! He can’t help but crash TwiX and blow up rockets.’
The user was referring to the latest launches of SpaceX’s powerful Starship rocket, which have been hit with problems.
Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and chief executive of X, is trying to work out how to fly humans to Mars, though he must have a lot else on his plate with a reported 14 children, his role in politics, as well as stocks at Tesla tumbling.
Earlier this week, he announced the sale of X to xAI, the makers of chatbot Grok.
He said that the move will ‘unlock immense potential by blending xAI’s advanced AI capability and expertise with X’s massive reach’.
You might have noticed responses on Grok relying more on tweets – when. they load at least – and this is only set to increase.
