“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 recent court ruling. This statement comes amidst a backdrop of significant legal challenges for Musk, who was found by a US jury to have defrauded Twitter investors during his attempt to acquire the company in 2022.
The jury concluded that Musk misled investors through public statements and tweets, particularly regarding the impact of fake accounts on the company’s stock price. While the court has yet to determine the amount Musk will owe in damages, the verdict has stirred conversations about the future of Twitter, now rebranded as X.
On the same day, users across India reported difficulties accessing the platform, with many unable to log in or post updates. “Cannot get into X. Getting an error screen when logging in,” shared one frustrated user. 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.”
Downdetector reported over 1,000 outage reports as of March 26, 2026, with over 10,000 complaints flooding in from users experiencing similar issues. The outage affected key functionalities, including the feed, login, and posting capabilities.
Fortunately, services were restored by around 1:03 PM IST, alleviating some of the frustration among users. However, the cause of the outage remains unclear. Details remain unconfirmed.
This incident highlights the ongoing challenges facing Twitter, particularly as it navigates the complexities of Musk’s legal battles and the operational hurdles that come with managing a global social media platform.
As the dust settles from the jury’s verdict and services resume, many are left wondering how these developments will impact the future of X and its user experience. The intertwining of legal issues and technical difficulties presents a unique challenge for the platform as it strives to maintain user trust and engagement.
