More than 10,000 Twitter users reported on Downdetector on Wednesday that the microblogging site was not working properly for them.

Why It's Important: Musk acquired Twitter in a $44 billion deal in October and has since introduced a host of changes to the platform — many of which have faced severe backlash from netizens. 

Earlier this month, the Twitter Spaces audio content feature was disabled. The step was an apparent reaction to journalists Musk had suspended from using Spaces to interact with Twitter users.

In November, Twitter users faced issues while blocking accounts on the platform. Musk said the problem was caused by "an old 3rd party tool."
