X, Grok down: How to fix bug after thousands log out of accounts amid massive outage

Grok, the artificial intelligence robot for Elon Musk’s X platform, malfunctioned on Thursday, leaving thousands of users without access. Some users suddenly logged out of their accounts. We encountered a similar issue when trying to log in and use the platform. We tried to log in and saw an “Authentication failed” message.

X and Grok shut down thousands of users on Thursday (Reuters)

“This email domain has been rejected. Please use a different email address. If you believe this is a mistake, please contact support@x.ai,” the message reads.

DownDetector, a platform that tracks online outages, showed at least 2,000 reports of Grok. Reports on X also surged. However, the Weibo site is working fine for us.

The company has yet to issue a statement.

The outage appears to be related to authentication and server-side outages, which may impact:

Login session

Account verification

AI chatbot response (Grok not loading or failing)

These issues are usually temporary and resolved by the platform.

Quick fixes you should try

If you’re logged out or can’t access your account, try the following steps:

1. Restart the application or browser

Completely closeX

Reopen and try to log in again

2. Check your internet connection

Switch between WiFi and mobile data

Refresh your connection

3. Clear cache (mobile users)

Go to app settings

Clear cache (Android) or reinstall (iOS)

4. Update the application

Make sure you are using the latest version of X

5. Reset password (if necessary)

If you fail to log in multiple times, try “Forgot Password”

Avoid multiple rapid attempts (may trigger lockout)

when it’s not your fault

If thousands of users are affected, this may be a platform-wide issue rather than something you can fix locally.

Signs of widespread power outage

You suddenly quit everywhere

Login works, but logout immediately

Grok is unresponsive or missing

Others reported the same situation on social media

What to do during a power outage

Wait (most outages resolve within minutes to hours)

Avoid repeated login attempts

Check status via platforms like DownDetector
