Elon Musk, the owner of micro-blogging site, X has mocked Meta over the global downtime experienced by Facebook, Instagram, and Thread.

Reacting, Meta spokesman, Andy Stone, said the company was looking into the glitch that led to users being logged out of their platforms globally.
Posting on X, Stone wrote: “We’re working on it.
“We’re aware people are having trouble accessing our services. We are working on this now.”
