X is back after an apparent widespread outage

Millions of users are experiencing widespread internet outages following a significant technical issue early this morning in ET time, with complaints spiking initially but then dropping as concerns abated. Login issues on X’s developer platform have been ongoing since Thursday, though they’ve since resolved without any immediate resolution identified, and the root cause remains unclear. Investigations point toward a fire in an Oregon data center linked to battery malfunctions, which has degraded performance without causing a broader outage as feared earlier.
