Elon Musk owned microblogging platform Twitter, experienced a significant outage on Thursday, across the US. It was the Twitter web service which observed an outage. 

The platform showed error messages to several users, “Something went wrong, but don’t fret — it’s not your fault. Let’s try again.”

In the US, there have been almost 10,000 reports of Twitter outages, according to downdetector.com, a web portal that tracks online outages and issues.

Taking to the micro-blogging platform many users reported the issue.

While one user asked, “Is Twitter down on PC or am I just getting crazy?”, another said, “Twitter just logged me out of my desktop version. I go to log in and it says I’m already logged in and gives me this message. Anybody else’s doing this?”

Several users had also faced “over capacity” error messages across Twitter web, mobile and the TweetDeck app.

In July, the micro-blogging platform suffered a mega outage as several users across the world had error messages like “this page is down”.

Then,  in September and November, Twitter suffered global outage as at that time many users reported about the login issues.
