June 22 (Reuters) - ⁠Elon Musk's X was largely ⁠back up after thousands of users ‌reported issues with the social media platform globally on Monday, according to Downdetector.com.

The outage ​began around 9:00 a.m. ⁠ET, peaking at ⁠over 25,000 issues being reported in ⁠the U.S. ‌before cooling to about 620 reports, according to ⁠Downdetector, which tracks outages by collating ​status ‌reports from a number of sources.

In ⁠Canada, reports ​fell to roughly 30 from a high of more than 3,400, ⁠while the UK saw issues ​decline after topping 9,000 earlier in the day, according to the website.

The ⁠actual number of affected users may differ from what is shown, as the reports are submitted by ​users.

SpaceX, which owns X, ⁠did not immediately respond to Reuters' ​request for comment ‌on what caused the ​outage.
