X Experiences Global Outages, Users Flock to Alternatives

Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, faced widespread outages on March 10, 2025, affecting thousands of users globally. According to Downdetector, the service disruptions began early in the morning, with users reporting difficulties in accessing the platform and posting content. This incident marks another in a series of technical challenges for X since its rebranding and transition under Elon Musk's leadership.

In response to the outage, many users turned to alternative social media platforms such as Bluesky and Threads, where NBC Sports and other content providers have also begun to establish a presence. This shift highlights a growing trend of diversifying social media usage amid concerns over platform reliability and content moderation policies.

Elon Musk, the CEO of X Corp, has yet to comment on the specific cause of the outage, but the company has acknowledged the issue and is working on a resolution. The outage's impact on X's user base and its long-term effects on the platform's market position remain to be seen, especially as competitors continue to gain ground.
