Tech billionaire Elon Musk says his social media platform, X, has been targeted in a “massive cyberattack” after the service went down, leaving tens of thousands of users unable to access their accounts.

Complaints about outages spiked on Monday at 10:00 and 14:00 GMT, and more than 40,000 users were unable to access the platform, according to the tracking website Downdetector.com.

Taking to X, Musk posted that the platform was targeted on a daily basis but the latest attack was “done with a lot of resources” and had been orchestrated by “a large, coordinated group and/or a country”. He did not provide evidence for his claim. (Al-Jazeera)
