Elon Musk‘s social media network X (formerly Twitter) has gone down again – days after Cloudflare shut down several high-profile websites.

According to Down Detector, users started reporting technical issues just after 4pm on Sunday.

This is the fourth major outage across the social media network this week. 

The biggest impact was felt on November 18 when an internet blackout was caused by technology giant Cloudflare.

X, along with other websites such as ChatGPT, were knocked offline with disruption lasting around three hours.

Cloudflare said the company was investigating a ‘spike in unusual internet traffic’ just before the outage.

But an executive later apologised for the massive glitch and the time it took to solve, admitting it was ‘unacceptable’.

Dane Knecht, Cloudflare’s chief technology officer, said: ‘The sites, businesses, and organisations that rely on Cloudflare depend on us being available and I apologise for the impact that we caused.’ 

They insisted there was no evidence that the outage was caused by a cyber attack.
