Is Twitter Down? Server Status News As Elon Musk's Site Stops Working

Twitter is down this evening leaving millions of users unable to access the platform.

The problems began at around 12:30am GMT with users first reporting issues with the service before thousands more were unable to log in.

Independent outage monitor site Down Detector has seen a surge in reports with over 10,000 in the last few minutes.

However, this obviously doesn't track all those many more thousand of Twitter users who are not reporting issues or complaining online.

Many users are reporting an error which reads: "Something went wrong, but don’t fret — it’s not your fault. Let’s try again."

At the time of writing there's no telling how long it might take for the social network to come back online.

More to follow.
