Elon Musk says X (formerly Twitter) has been hit by a "massive cyber-attack" on Monday, after thousands of users in the UK and US reported outages.
Mr Musk, who has owned the platform since late 2022, suggested the attack may be ongoing.
"We get attacked every day, but this was done with a lot of resources," he wrote in a post on X.
He suggested that "either a large, coordinated group and/or a country is involved".

Don’t mess with Zohan.
I believe it. With all the competing interests trying to dictate the narrative, X is a huge problem for people who feel they’re losing control. Or those attempting to create a coherent one.

That’s really sad! 🥲 poor little Elon and his Nazi shitter was hacked. Maybe if he didn’t fire half the staff it wouldn’t have happened
“Shut it down”
Sounds like Anonymous holding up their promises
