The outage has impacted users across the world. X hasn't provided a cause for the latest outage to hit the site.

Today's outage comes just a couple of days after X was hit with a mass outage on Thursday (May 22).

That particular outage was blamed after a fire broke out at a data center in Hillsboro, Oregon, that is leased by Elon Musk's X social media firm.

It led to a major outage yesterday (May 23), with Downdetector.com showing nearly 6,000 users reported outages globally.

Before Musk bought X, formerly known as Twitter, the company leased three data centers across Portland; Sacramento, California; and Atlanta, Georgia. The Atlanta facility is owned by QTS, while Prime owns the Sacramento site.

In late 2022, Musk shut down the Sacramento data center, moving as many as 2,573 server racks to data centers in Portland and Atlanta. Around that time, X suffered a seven-hour outage. Tesla later took over the lease at the site.

Digital Realty's Portland, Oregon, data centers have a total footprint of 56,500 sqm (609,000 sq ft) split between two data centers.

It's also not the first outage the site has had this year. In March, the site suffered multiple network outages. X has suffered multiple major outages since Musk's $44 billion acquisition of Twitter in 2022.
