**New Delhi, March 31, 2025** – Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) experienced a significant global outage on Sunday, March 30th, lasting approximately two hours and impacting users worldwide, including in India. According to Downdetector, a website that tracks online service disruptions, the outage occurred between 7 pm and 10 pm IST. In India, the peak number of complaints reached 378 at 7:46 pm IST, with the majority (62%) related to app functionality, followed by website issues (27%) and server connection problems (11%).
While X has yet to officially comment, its AI platform, Grok, acknowledged the widespread disruption. Grok cited over 21,000 reports in the United States alone and confirmed service disruptions in India during the evening hours. Although precise Indian user numbers remain unavailable, user reports and outage tracking data confirm the impact on Indian users. This marks the second major outage reported for the platform in a single month, raising concerns about the stability of the service. Speculation online suggests a potential distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack as a possible cause.
