Facebook is down, and many believe Instagram is also experiencing issues, leaving social media users confused and frustrated. One person wrote: 'I don't know what to do with my life.'
Facebook and Instagram Outage
Meta has taken a dive today, with Facebook definitely down. But is Instagram scrambled too? The photo-sharing platform appears to be working for some but is down for others. Meta is currently saying nothing is wrong with any of their platforms, but a myriad of users disagree.
One person wrote: 'My Instagram down yo. It shows an error when logging in!' while another said: 'When Instagram goes down and you suddenly realize you have no idea what to do with your life.'
DownDetector Reports
DownDetector saw over 41,500 reports of the social media site being down just after 2:30 PM today. One user wrote about Facebook: 'Website seems to be down in the last few minutes.' Another said: 'Website and app seem to be down.' A third wrote: 'Can confirm here in the UK Facebook is down.' A fourth said: 'It's definitely down. Meta Business Suite giving an error message.'
One person wrote: 'I run to X to check on Facebook is down. Facebook is down help.'
Coinciding with Elon Musk's Trillionaire Status
The outage comes almost to the minute that mega-rich entrepreneur Elon Musk is set to become the world's first trillionaire. His SpaceX business raised $75 billion (£56 billion) ahead of its record-breaking $1.8 trillion (£1.3 trillion) US stock market debut.
The move is the biggest flotation in history and could also make Tesla and X owner Mr Musk - already a billionaire - the world's first paper trillionaire and cement his position as the richest man on the planet.
