Checks by our correspondent on Wednesday at 11 am showed that 3,473 Twitter users had already reported the outages on Downdetector.
The outage seems to be primarily affecting the app, while some users have reported issues with the website as well.
The unexplained collapse follows Elon Musk’s latest round of layoffs this week where he fired around 200 product managers, data scientists, and engineers responsible for site reliability.
