Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, suffered global outages for just over an hour on Thursday.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to Downdetector.com, which tracks outages by collating status reports, more than 47,000 US users faced access issues with X and X Pro.<\/p>\n

Some users in the UK and Asia were also unable to view posts on the site with a message that said “Welcome to X!”<\/p>\n

X, which is owned by Elon Musk, has been asked for comment. Mr Musk bought Twitter for $44bn (\u00a335bn) last year.<\/p>\n

The hashtag #TwitterDown started trending within minutes of reports of the outages emerging.<\/p>\n

But the outage was short-lived, with users able to access the platform again after just over an hour.<\/p>\n

Since Mr Musk bought the platform, it has been suffering from a loss of advertising revenue.<\/p>\n

He has also been accused of allowing antisemitic posts next to advertising.<\/p>\n

The company has since sued a left-leaning pressure group, Media Matters for America, which made the accusation.<\/p>\n

Last month, Elon Musk slammed advertisers that left X, saying they would kill the social media platform.<\/p>\n

The company has also been accused of spreading disinformation with the European Union formally announcing that it suspects X of breaching its rules in areas including countering illegal content and disinformation.<\/p>\n
