Microblogging platform Twitter was down for some users who took to social media to complain they were not able to login to the website.
DownDetector, the website which tracks outages across the world, received 100 complaints as of 10 am. This comes on a day when the social media giant's new owner Elon Musk is planning to lay off its employees through mail.
Twitter had a meltdown with several users taking the microblogging platform itself to lodge complaints.
A Twitter user wrote,"Is your twitter working fine?? Because my twitter is down, i cant see any picture or cant play any video. My wifi is at good speed. I dont know what is happening in my twitter account. Either twitter is down today or my account is having problem".
Another user tweeted, "When #instagramdown or #facebookdown people coming to twitter but when #TwitterDown people be outside Twitter HQ after being paid for $8 to #ElonMusk".

"In an effort to place Twitter on a healthy path, we will go through the difficult process of reducing our global workforce on Friday," said the email sent on Thursday, seen by Reuters.
