After Elon Musk bought Twitter, he made many innovations on the popular social media platform. It changed its name and logo. Updated the security policy.

This outage benefited X’s rival Threads the most. Here are the details…
X loses users to Threads as it experiences biggest outage since Musk’s takeover!
More than 90,000 users on Twitter, formerly known as X, experienced an outage on Thursday morning. This is the platform’s most serious outage since Elon Musk took over Twitter. Data from Google Trends says that many users switched to platforms under the Meta umbrella during the outage.
X users reported platform outages intermittently throughout the night on Thursday. This outage affected users worldwide. Social media applications are very popular today. People use these networks to communicate and get news.
Threads continues to be like X’s boring cousin. However, Meta’s application wants to be in the constant focus of users rather than being an alternative to X. For this reason, updates continue. It will also enter the European market. In this way, more users will join Threads.
Musk has added a number of new features for the X, including the AI chatbot Grok. Despite the innovations, the platform continues to lose blood. In contrast, Threads continues to grow day by day. With this outage, X added a lot of users to Threads.
The reason for the outage is currently unknown. X said it had made improvements and fixed bugs earlier this week, December 18th. Also updated to version 10.21. The reason for this outage is not yet clear. It is being investigated whether it has anything to do with this update.
