Twitter Down For Millions Thursday Morning (Forbes)

Some 57% of reported problems occurred on Twitter's mobile app, while 35% happened on the website, while 8% were reported as server connections.

Twitter argued Musk was conducting a “fishing expedition” to back out of the deal. Musk attempted to renege on his plan to buy Twitter last week, largely over concerns about the prevalence of fake accounts. Twitter is back online, just over an hour after reported outages skyrocketed from zero to 55,000 in a matter of minutes Thursday, according to the tech site Downdetector, the first service error since February, and a few days after the social media site filed a lawsuit against billionaire Elon Musk, who is attempting to walk away from a deal to buy the site.

Mr Musk and Twitter have been bracing for a legal fight since the billionaire said on Friday he was backing away from his April agreement to buy the company.
