According to Downdetector, which monitors real-time outages and disruptions, several X users ar veneer issues, reporting outage as the app appears to be land.
It reported that the app was land for o'er 34,000 users around 4:19 p.m. ET. By 4:42 p.m., the number of reported outages had decreased to 1,500.
'You may experience 503 errors'
Over half of the outages, 61%, were observed on the app, while 38% witnessed the online interface. Some users saw a "Welcome to X!" message when they tried to log on. The X Developer Platform status page reported a "site-wide outage" as of 4:20 p.m. ET on Friday, according to an update shared at that time.
“You may experience 503 errors for the following endpoints: Get User Timeline / Get Tweets / Get DM / Create Tweet," it stated.
The outages took place just as X owner Elon Musk appeared at the White House to declare his departure from the Department of Government Efficiency, while saying his “scheduled time as a Special Government Employee” concludes.
Although the Tesla CEO has officially departed from the White House, the billionaire revealed that he will lead an austerity team, which has been assigned with getting "rid of fraud and waste" in the federal budget.
He mentioned that the DOGE mission “will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.” A senior administration official on Thursday informed CNN that while Musk will be exiting his official role, he will continue to serve as an "unofficial advisor" and could participate in some future White House meetings.
