The outage comes days after Twitter sued Elon Musk for violating his $44 billion deal to buy the company and asked a Delaware court to order the world’s richest person to complete the takeover.

The outage began around 8:00 ET and prevented users from logging into the micro-blogging site on desktops and mobile phones.

It was not clear what caused the outage. Users were getting an error message: “Tweets aren’t loading right now.” Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but its status dashboard indicated that all systems were operational.

The company had suffered another widespread outage in February that it blamed on a software glitch

Twitter shares were marginally down at $36.60 before the bell on Thursday.

Users have since taken to the platform since it came back up to make light of the outage with different memes.
