Elon Musk says X facing "massive cyberattack"

The social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, has been having a very bad Monday so far, with users reporting its third outage of the day – and it might not be the last.
The first spike in reported problems on Downdetector happened at 10am ET, with X users in both the US and UK unable to get their usual fix of memes and outrage in the app or website.
While that outage was quickly resolved, X has gone down a further two times – with the latest one approaching an earlier peak at 2pm. So to quote X's own tagline "what's happening"?
Elon Musk has now commented and claimed that "there was (still is) a massive cyberattack against X", which was "done with a lot of resources". So that would explain why X is continuing to have major issues over eight hours on from when they started.
X competitors like Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon have so far remained active and accessible, giving X users alternative platforms to jump to while X works on its issues.

The first outage was reported on Downdetector at 10 AM ET, when users in both the US and the UK couldn’t load memes or angrily comment as usual on the app or website. While the issue was resolved quickly, X went down twice more, with the most recent peak occurring at 2 PM.
So, to quote X’s catchphrase, "What’s going on?" Elon Musk commented, claiming there has been a "massive cyberattack" on X, carried out with "significant resources." This may explain why X has faced ongoing issues for over eight hours since the attack began. danchoi.com
Meanwhile, X competitors like Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon are still up and running smoothly, offering users alternatives while X works on resolving its problems.
