Hundreds of X users are reporting issues with the platform, which was formerly known as Twitter, which appears to have crashed.
Many are reporting issues with loading content, while others are citing problems logging in or being locked out of their accounts, according to statistics collected by downdetector.com.
As of about 7 p.m. ET, over 800 users were reporting issues with the platform, with 49% complaining about the app, 44% citing issues with the website and 7% detailing server connection issues.
One user took to the platform itself, showing a screenshot of what they are seeing on the app as the issues with the platform persist. @Kimabdalian_ wrote: "X/ Twitter is going through server issues 01 Jan 70 with no tweet contents." They tagged the X support team as well.

The screenshot shows accounts appearing on the user's feed without any content underneath — empty tweets that show only retweet numbers and no likes or content. The timestamp on the tweets shows them being published on "01 Jan 70," a date that could mean Jan. 1, 2070, or Jan. 1, 1970, before Twitter was even a concept.
But a mere 15 minutes later, the issue seemed to be resolved, with the platform going back to operations as usual. A few people on downdetector.com posted frowny faces in the comments of the report, while others tried to verify that they, too, were having issues with the platform.

Outages and temporary glitches are common on many platforms and generally only last for a few minutes. The last time an outage on X occurred was just before Christmas, when thousands of users reported blank timelines.
This outage comes amid controversy Musk faces over his personal payouts from Tesla, another company he owns and operates. A judge recently struck down his proposal to pay himself $55 billion from the company's fortunes, ruling that the amount is excessive.
Musk has also been in the spotlight after he recently successfully installed the first Neuralink brain chip in a patient, which is an invention of his designed to restore motor function in some areas. It was highly controversial given its unknown nature and how that could impact the safety of clients during the human testing phase.
