Elon Musk’s X Faces Cyberattack and Outages
Elon Musk's social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter, experienced significant outages and a cyberattack, causing disruptions for millions of users worldwide. The issues began early on March 10, 2025, with users reporting difficulties accessing the site and using its features. X confirmed the outage, attributing it to a sophisticated cyberattack aimed at undermining the platform's infrastructure.
The attack, described as a 'dark storm' by some tech analysts, led to widespread frustration among X's user base, with many taking to other platforms to voice their discontent. Elon Musk himself addressed the situation, stating that his team was working tirelessly to restore full functionality and bolster security measures.
This incident marks a significant challenge for Musk, who has been focused on transforming X into a comprehensive 'everything app'. The outage and cyberattack raise concerns about the platform's vulnerability to such attacks and its ability to maintain user trust and engagement amidst growing competition in the social media landscape.
