Twitter, a social media (SNS) acquired by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, caused another connection failure in five days. Twitter reported a series of connection failures from noon (9 a.m. Western time) on the 6th (local time). Failure occurred, such as poor login, disconnection of links in tweets, and failure to load images.Twitter said, “Some Twitter may not work as expected now,” and explained, “We made internal changes, which resulted in unintended results.” “We are currently working on it, and we will share the update once it is modified,” he said.Musk tweeted that “the platform is unstable.”According to DownDirector, an Internet access failure tracking site, more than 8,000 Twitter failures were reported worldwide.
Twitter also caused service failures around the world, including the United States and Europe, on the 1st, three days after announcing its 8th job cut. Since Musk’s acquisition in October last year, including a failure in December last year, failures have frequently occurred due to technical problems.Critics point out that the frequent obstacles are due to Musk’s lack of manpower to support services as he is making large-scale cuts to reduce costs.
After completing its acquisition of Twitter in October last year, Musk cut 50% of its total workforce and cut 50 employees at the end of last month.
As a result, the number of employees, which was 7,500, is known to be less than 2,000. Citing engineers who left Twitter in November, AP reported that two-thirds of key service engineers left the company.
