Just what Musk needs! Twitter hit with worldwide outage impacting tens of thousands of users – as Zuckerberg’s rival app Threads surges to 100 million users in days

Twitter is experiencing a worldwide outage that is impacting tens of thousands of users – another blow for Elon Musk, who is battling Meta over its newly launched Threads.

DownDetector, which monitors online issues, began to receive issue reports around 10:22 am ET, with most stating problems with the app.

Users took the occasion to make fun of Musk’s platform, saying, ‘Time to head to Threads,’ which Mark Zuckerberg launched last week that already has 100 million users. 

Twitter disclosed it has 237.8 million.

Twitter is still functioning for some users who are sharing their frustrations with certain features not working.

Many have shared that their tweets are not loading and Timelines are not updating.

It is unclear what sparked the outage or how long it will last. 

DownDetector’s US outage map shows New York City all in red- meaning it is hit hard – followed by Boston, Dallas and other major cities nationwide. 

At the peak, more than 6,000 Americans issued reports to DownDetector. 

Countries like Italy, China, the UK and other parts of Europe are also experiencing problems.
