Elon Musk’s social network is working again without yet explaining the origin of the failure
The social network X, owned by Elon Musk, has recovered normality after a global interruption that left thousands of users in different countries without service for more than an hour.
The failure began around 2:15 p.m. (Spanish peninsular time) and affected territories such as the United States, Spain and several Latin American countries. Around 3:30 p.m., the platform returned to operating with apparent normality. So far, the company has not offered an official explanation for what happened.
Thousands of reports in a matter of minutes
According to data collected by Downdetector, the incident generated a flood of notifications in a very short time.
In Spain, nearly 4,000 people reported service problems at the most critical point of the fall. In the United States, the figure exceeded 40,000 notices. The errors affected both the mobile application and the web version.
When trying to update the content, the platform displayed a message indicating that the “posts are not loading at this time”, inviting you to try again. In other cases, the screen remained black with the logo of the social network, without the possibility of access.
Grok also stopped working
The incident was not limited to the social network itself. Grok, the generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by xAI and integrated into the platform, also presented errors.
Users from Spain, the United States and different Latin American countries reported that the system did not respond normally or did not load at all. This detail adds another layer to the incident, as it shows that the fall could have affected the general infrastructure of the X ecosystem.
What does a fall like this mean?
Global social media outages are not uncommon, but each episode reopens an uncomfortable conversation: our digital dependence.

Official silence after recovery
Although the service is now working normally, X has not published any statement detailing the technical causes of the problem. The absence of official information usually generates more speculation than certainty, especially when we talk about a network with global impact.
In an increasingly centralized digital environment, technical transparency is not just a corporate issue. It’s a question of trust.
