&imwidth=800&imheight=600&format=webp&quality=medium "X, Gemini, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other platforms go down — Know what’s happening")
The microblogging platform, X, owned by Elon Musk, is down for several users across the country. Based on the data from Downdetector, the problem increased sharply in the last 24 hours. The major issues flagged were with the feed (44 per cent), the website itself (30 per cent), and server connections (27 per cent). This downtime appears to be affecting users globally, though mobile apps are less impacted.
The problem occurred due to the global outage of Cloudflare, as it has also reported downtime. Cloudflare is a global internet infrastructure company that provides security and traffic management for websites.
Cloudflare serves as a protective layer and traffic manager for thousands of online platforms. When it experiences problems, numerous websites and apps may slow down or go offline, which could be why Twitter users are encountering widespread connectivity issues.
Other sites linked with Cloudflare also experienced
In addition to X, Perplexity, Gemini, and others have shared error messages related to Cloudflare, and the company has also confirmed that it is facing a technical issue.
“Cloudflare is aware of and investigating an issue which impacts multiple customers. Widespread 500 errors, Cloudflare Dashboard and API also failing. We are working to understand the full impact and mitigate this problem. More updates to follow shortly,” Cloudflare said in a post on its status page.

OpenAI has also updated on its website, confirming that ChatGPT and some of its other platforms are down, and it is investigating the issue to fix those errors. However, the AI startup hasn't confirmed whether the issue is linked to the Cloudflare outage or not.
This is not the first instance when the X has gone down and bothered its regular users. It is a recurring disruption over which several users experienced problems while accessing it. Previously, similar issues have arisen, ranging from feed failures to posting restrictions, and have surfaced multiple times.
(This is a developing story. More details are being updated.)
