Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter, encountered a significant disruption earlier today, rendering the service largely inoperative for over an hour. This widespread outage affected users across the globe, with both mobile and web versions of the platform showing signs of malfunction.
If an internet outage occurs just for a single day, the US alone would face huge losses of around $11 billion. China is estimated to lose nearly $10 billion, according to the VPN service provider AtlasVPN. Meanwhile, the UK would lose around $3 billion, and Japan is expected to lose approximately $2.7 billion. An internet outage in Germany will likely cost up to $1.5 billion.
