Twitter Down: Elon Musk’s Social Network Suffers Outages On Wednesday Morning

Twitter went down on Wednesday morning, with thousands of users reporting outages.

According to Down Detector, the issues affecting Elon Musk’s social network started just after 2:15 AM Pacific Time time and affected users worldwide. The issues appeared to be largely resolved within two hours, when crash reports returned to normal.

The issues appeared to impact user timelines, with people being greeted by the message “Welcome to Twitter!” in place of their usual feed of posts.

Twitter has become more unreliable on Musk’s watch. The New York Times reported on Tuesday that the social network suffered four widespread outages in February, compared with nine in all of 2022.

The issues follow Musk continuing to fire Twitter staff. Dozens of employees across sales and engineering teams were laid off last month.
