  • X, the former Twitter, has experienced a worldwide outage as of 12PM on Monday CAT.
  • This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.
  • The outage seems to have only lasted for about half an hour.

Half an hour is still pretty huge for a site like Xitter.

Half an hour is “we just broke our SLA” level bad. I guess if your org has been stripped of all its talent that’s the new standard.

I'm quite surprised it took this long for the outage to appear after all those cuts by the fucker.

Weird that they said "only" half an hour. Thats a really long time
