X outage takes down social media platform

X experienced a widespread outage early Monday, leaving thousands of users unable to access the social media platform.

According to Downdetector, a website that tracks service disruptions based on user reports, complaints surged to more than 41,000 around 8:40 a.m. ET, far above the typical baseline level.

Reports had first begun trickling in earlier in the morning, starting with about a dozen complaints before rapidly escalating.

The social media company did not immediately respond to FOX Business’s request for comment.
