Is X (Twitter) down today? (May 24, 2025)

X (formerly known as Twitter) has been experiencing a major outage today, May 24, 2025, affecting thousands of users across the globe. Reports of the disruption began flooding in around 8:30 am Eastern Time when users from various countries started reporting their issues on the popular website DownDetector. This sudden and widespread issue has made it difficult for users to refresh feeds, post content, or interact on the platform across both mobile and desktop.

This marks yet another major disruption for the platform in 2025, after a similar incident in March, when users could not access anything for a brief period. During both outages, the company did not provide any early warnings or official explanations.

On that note, here’s what we currently know about the global outage on May 24, 2025.

How widespread is the X (Twitter) outage on May 24, 2025?

Today's outage appears to be global, with thousands of users across multiple countries reporting issues. DownDetector, a widely used platform that tracks service interruptions through user reports, recorded a sharp spike at 8:30 am EDT. Within a few minutes, there were nearly 20,000 user reports on the website.

However, unlike the March 10 outage, today’s appears to be a single event and has not repeated multiple times throughout the day, at least for now.

Users have also turned to other social media platforms like Reddit and Instagram to share their frustrations and seek updates. While many users hope for a response, there has been no official statement from the developers.

However, note that such outages are common and do not always lead to something serious. The outage could be related to server maintenance, which is completely normal. In that case, the website should be live again within a few hours, and users should be able to continue exploring the feed or posting new content as usual very soon.
