Elon Musk-owned X (formerly Twitter) suffered a major outage with users across India and some other countries reporting difficulties in accessing the social media platform, according to Downdetector.com.

Many users, attempting to use the microblogging platform, came across notification that read: "Cannot retrieve posts at this time. Please try again later."

According to Downdetector.com, a website performance tracking tool, more than 2,000 users in India reported issues with the platform.

This is the third time this year! 😤 X needs to get its act together. We rely on this platform for news and business communication. When will Elon Musk fix these recurring issues?

Was trying to check updates on the election results when this happened. Very frustrating! Maybe time to explore Indian alternatives like Koo?

Interesting that the outage affected India, US and Canada simultaneously. Makes you wonder about the global infrastructure of X. Maybe they need more localized servers?

These frequent outages show how dependent we've become on foreign platforms. Our IT ministry should push for developing robust Indian social media alternatives with better reliability.

The timing was terrible - right during peak evening hours when most Indians are active online. Lost potential engagement for many creators and businesses. X should compensate for this!

Honestly, the outage gave me a nice break from endless scrolling 😅 Maybe we all needed this digital detox. But yes, for a platform this big, such frequent issues are unacceptable.
