Elon Musk’s social media platform X was largely restored for most users after an outage that impacted tens of thousands across the United States and other parts of the world on Saturday, according to the outage tracking website Downdetector.com. Following the disruption, Musk stated that he is “back to spending 24/7” at his companies.
At its peak around 8:51 a.m. ET (1251 GMT), Downdetector recorded over 25,800 reports of users experiencing issues with the platform. The number of reported problems had fallen significantly to under 650 by 12:09 p.m. ET.
“Back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in conference/server/factory rooms. I must be super focused on X/xAI and Tesla (TSLA.O), (plus Starship launch next week), as we have critical technologies rolling out,” Musk said in a post on X.
Thousands of users from countries including Germany, Spain, France, India, Canada, Australia, and Britain also reported difficulties accessing the platform during the height of the outage, according to Downdetector data.
X did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment regarding the incident.
Musk, who spent nearly \$300 million backing U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign and other Republican efforts last year, said on Tuesday he will cut his political spending substantially. This signals a renewed focus on his business ventures amid growing concerns from investors.
