KOX react to X being down with hilarious memes

People were left in a tizzy after X (Twitter) suffered a temporary outage that sparked widespread mockery by users on Thursday morning.

For almost an hour, the platform did not allow users to refresh content, only displaying a message on the platform that read: “Welcome to X! This is the best place to see what’s happening in your world. Find some people and topics to follow now”.

According to Downdetector, a website offering information about the real-time status of websites and social media platforms, there were 74,823 “down” reports for X at the peak of the website’s outage.

“Did twitter break? Welcome to X?,” one user wrote, hinting at the many issues and controversies that have surrounded the social media platform since one of the most famous billionaires in the world took over.

Musk completed the purchase of Twitter on October 27, 2022, for a total of $44 million.

Among the many changes he implemented was to make Twitter’s once-coveted blue check, which was assigned to recognized public figures, experts, politicians, and journalists, part of the platform’s paid subscription for a total of $8 a month.

One X user mocked the payment after the system went down on Thursday, writing: “Twitter’s down again! Totally worth the $8.”

X was restored early on Thursday. The cause of the outage is not yet known, and emails to X’s communications and support teams bounced back.

Here are some of what people shared after it was restored.
