Site unavailable for users in latest technical difficulty suffered by site since its takeover by Elon Musk
Twitter was unavailable for users around the world for over an hour on Wednesday morning, the latest in a spate of technical difficulties suffered by the site since its takeover by Elon Musk.
Beginning at about 10:20am UK time, visitors to Twitter.com were greeted with error messages. Although the total outage was rapidly fixed, the site remained in effect nonfunctional until well into the afternoon, with users unable to access their “home” feed, despite notifications, profile visits and direct messages still working.
Unusually, users could still post to the site throughout the outage, and the “trending topics” continued to refresh, leading to trends including “#TwitterDown“, “My Twitter” and “Welcome to Twitter”.
