Impact of Technical Issues on Elon Musk’s Site X and AI Tool Grok
During Thursday afternoon, reports from users indicated that both Elon Musk’s site X and the AI tool Grok were experiencing downtime. While X appears to have recovered, ongoing issues with Grok are still being reported.
Technical Problems and User Response
According to Down Detector, a significant increase in user-reported problems for both services began around 11 a.m. ET. X was reportedly back up and running by approximately 1 p.m. ET, although reports of continued issues with Grok were still prevalent. It is worth noting that X may have been functioning correctly throughout, but users encountered difficulties due to the close integration of Grok with the site.
Users turned to social media platforms to discuss the technical challenges they were encountering. Some X users mentioned receiving error messages indicating that Grok was under heavy load. This occurred shortly after Grok 4 was made available for free for a limited time.
This situation is fluid, and updates will be provided as necessary.
