X, formerly Twitter, was non-operational for millions of users and the company was yet to respond to the reason behind the mega outage. It, however, started to work for some users after facing at least a 30-40 minute outage during the day. During the downtime, X stopped working completely while the users were unable to post tweets or even open pages on the platform. X was acquired by Elon Musk in 2022 for $44 billion. The tech billionaire raised prices of its top-tier subscription service (Premium+) for his X social media platform by a massive 35 per cent for both new and existing users in India, including across global markets. In India, the basic tier subscription rate remains unchanged at Rs 243 and premium tier at Rs 650 as well. In the US, the Premium service will cost $22 a month, up from $16. The Annual subscription cost has increased to $229 from $168. The Premium users in the country now shell out Rs 1,750 a month – up from £1,300 now.
