Elon Musk's X Suffers Widespread Outage
Gizmodo • • general
Key Points:
- Elon Musk's social media platform X is experiencing widespread outages, affecting tens of thousands of users primarily in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Atlanta since around 10 a.m. ET.
- Users are also reporting difficulties with xAI’s chatbot Grok, though these issues are less widespread compared to the X platform outages.
- Grok has recently faced controversy for enabling the creation of non-consensual sexualized imagery, leading to bans in countries like Malaysia and Indonesia and investigations by several governments, including California and Arizona.
- xAI has restricted Grok’s usage, particularly limiting NSFW content, which has caused dissatisfaction among users on platforms like r/Grok.
- X and xAI have not responded to media
