(Reuters) -Elon Musk's X recovered for most U.S. users after a brief outage on Friday, according to Downdetector.com, just days after the social media platform was hit by a disruption linked to Cloudflare's network.

There were less than 500 reports of issues with the platform as of 11:47 a.m. ET, down from a peak of more than 20,500 incidents earlier in the day, according to the website that tracks outages by collating status reports from a number of sources. The actual number of affected users may differ from what's shown because these reports are user-submitted.
