The comments came after Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X and a top adviser to President Donald Trump, claimed in an appearance on Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow” show that the cyberattackers had “IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area” without going into detail on what that might mean.

In a real case of the Mondays, X has experienced multiple outages today, with thousands of users all over the globe reporting problems. Elon Musk has said it’s suffered “a massive cyberattack”. The first huge spike of users reporting ‘X is down’ was at 2.

Tens of thousands of users reported issues using Musk’s platform, formerly known as Twitter, after what appeared to be an earlier outage.
