X, formerly Twitter, hit by global outage as users report login and timeline failures worldwide.

At the time, Musk had tweeted that Twitter had too many bots, which is why he was trying to renege on his commitment to buy the company.

X is down for many users, with a sharp spike in reported issues. Data from Downdetector shows complaints from users of the social media app formerly known as Twitter were minimal for most of the past 24 hours before surging suddenly in the last few minutes — reaching tens of thousands of reports in a short period.

Closing arguments are set to kick off Tuesday in a trial pitting Elon Musk against Twitter shareholders who say the world’s richest man engaged in a pattern of deceptive behavior that misled investors as he attempted to back out of his $44 billion deal to buy the social media platform in 2022.
