A second typed: “How many more times is X/Twitter going to go down?”

While someone else joked: “Twitter went down for 2 hours and I started going through withdrawal….maybe it’s time for me to touch some grass.”

“Why does Twitter keep going DOWN?!?!?! Fix it! (And it’s not just me. I’m texting with Twitter pals clear across the country),” added another.

Musk bought Twitter back in October 2022 for $44 billion, changing its name from ‘Twitter’ to ‘X’ shortly after.

In December, Axios reported that investment film Fidelity estimated his takeover tanked the site’s value by 72 percent – with the publications claiming it dropped to some $32 billion less than Musk’s initial purchase value, making it worth around $12.3 billion overall.
