Global Presence: X Achieves Expansion In Over 100 Countries
Elon Musk's Platform X Experiences Global Outage, Cause Remains Unclear
Tech billionaire Elon Musk's digital platform X, previously known as Twitter, is experiencing another wave of technical issues on a global scale. The precise cause of this disruption remains elusive.
On Thursday, numerous users reported issues with the platform on sites like all-outages.de. Around 3 pm, over 2500 of such incidents were documented on the network. This malfunction rendered the platform incapable of accepting new posts and stagnated timelines. However, the situation appeared to normalize in the late afternoon.
Analysis firm Netblocks reported outages for some users for the second time this week, these international issues seemed unrelated to internet disruptions or restrictions in specific countries.
Reports from German newspaper Bild and Wired.com indicate a fire in a data center of the company in Oregon as the root cause of the problems. Local media reported that the fire occurred on Thursday in a battery storage room. Nevertheless, it is essential to note that experts have linked the outage to system failures, specifically the failure of the redundancy systems designed to ensure continuous operation during primary system failures.
Musk has acknowledged the need for significant operational improvements to resolve ongoing uptime issues. Despite claims by a hacker group called Dark Storm of their involvement, Musk has not commented on these assertions.
Several users on both desktop and mobile versions of the platform have reported difficulties, although browser versions were particularly affected. As Musk concentrates his efforts on rectifying these problems, it remains to be seen how the tech mogul will navigate these persistent technical challenges.
