Twitter to X: Charting Performance and Outages

On May 17, X reached a major milestone when the social media platform completed its full migration from twitter.com to x.com. While the number and frequency of outages did increase after the company’s acquisition by Elon Musk, following the domain migration, there don’t appear to have been any significant disruptions to the X.com platform.
