Is having problems today. Was down for a while around 4:00 am and now down again.
Conspiracy theory: The deep state / leftist terrorists (same thing) are behind it.
Or, so many people are using Grok that resources are overwhelmed.
I give equal odds to both.

Seems to be up now. Probably just some leftists trying to take down the site and one of Musk's 20 year olds stopped them.
-
Huh... back down again. Wonder what's going on?
-
Major cyber attack, maybe even a country. Confirmed by Musk.
These people, whoever they are, need to burn in Hell.

Here's what Grok says...
On March 10, 2025, X (formerly Twitter) experienced multiple outages, with reports indicating at least three significant disruptions throughout the day. The exact reason for these outages remains unclear as X has not released an official statement addressing the cause. However, based on available information and user speculation, several possibilities have been suggested.The outages began early in the morning, with the first reported around 5:59 a.m. ET, peaking with over 22,000 user reports on Downdetector. Services were briefly restored, but additional outages occurred around 9:30 a.m. ET (peaking at over 37,000 reports) and again around 11:15 a.m. ET (with over 27,000 reports). Some users experienced issues primarily with the app (nearly 60% of reports), while others faced problems with the website (about 31%).Speculation from users on X and other platforms points to potential causes such as a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, with some posts claiming groups like the "Dark Storm Team" or even Ukrainian actors might be responsible. For instance, posts on X suggested a DDoS attack could explain the intermittent nature of the disruptions, with attackers possibly exploiting vulnerabilities as engineers worked to secure the platform. However, there is no official confirmation of a cyberattack from X or credible authorities, and such claims remain unverified rumors at this point.Alternatively, technical issues like server problems, service restarts, or bugs from updates have been proposed as more mundane explanations. Some users noted that the timing—during peak morning hours rather than a typical late-night maintenance window—might indicate an unexpected internal failure, such as a "hung service" or "code purges." Past outages, like one in August 2024, have been attributed to similar internal technical glitches, lending some credence to this theory.The outages were global, affecting users in the U.S., U.K., Brazil, and beyond, with Downdetector recording over 21,000 reports in the U.S. and 10,800 in the U.K. during the initial wave. Services were restored intermittently, with each outage lasting roughly 45 minutes to an hour, though some regions experienced lingering slowdowns. Without an official explanation from X or Elon Musk, who has remained silent on the issue as of 1:30 p.m. EDT, the precise cause—whether a cyberattack, internal error, or something else—remains speculative. For now, the disruptions highlight X’s occasional vulnerability despite its prominence as a real-time communication platform.

Sometimes Grok isn’t up to the minute. My post of Elon was just 10 minutes ago. I take it as confirmation from the horse’s mouth as cyberattack.

This reply to General Flynn says Dark Storm Team has claimed responsibility. It’s a secret underground pro-Palestinian hacker organization.
