Users are experiencing difficulties logging into Twitter, coinciding with a recent jury verdict involving Elon Musk. The cause of the outage remains unclear.
“We view today’s verdict, where the jury found both for and against the plaintiffs and found no fraud scheme, as a bump in the road,” stated Elon Musk’s lawyers following a significant legal ruling. This statement comes as Twitter, now rebranded as X, faces a wave of user complaints about accessibility issues.
On March 26, 2026, users across India reported being unable to log into the platform, with many receiving error messages. One frustrated user remarked, “Cannot get into X. Getting an error screen when logging in.” Another added, “I can’t post. Keeps said failed to post. And I logged out for a minute and it wouldn’t let me in for a bit.” These issues coincided with a jury’s finding that Musk had misled investors during his controversial $44 billion acquisition of Twitter in 2022.
The jury concluded that Musk had defrauded investors through misleading public statements and tweets, particularly regarding the impact of fake accounts on the company’s stock price. However, the court has yet to determine the damages Musk may owe.
As the outage unfolded, Downdetector reported over 1,000 reports of issues with X, including problems with logging in and posting. Users expressed their frustrations as the platform experienced a brief but significant outage, leading to over 10,000 complaints.
Services were restored by around 1:03 PM IST, but the cause of the outage remains unclear. Details remain unconfirmed, leaving many users anxious about the reliability of the platform.
This incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by X under Musk’s leadership, especially as legal issues continue to loom over the company. The combination of technical difficulties and legal scrutiny raises questions about the future stability of the platform.
As the situation develops, users and investors alike will be watching closely for any further updates regarding both the platform’s functionality and Musk’s legal battles.
