For some people, the website shows, "Something went wrong, but don't fret — let's give it another shot." It has been nearly an hour since the Twitter website is down for some users.
Meanwhile, Twitter is undergoing extensive changes in administration and in the revenue model. However, it is not known if this downtime is planned for a new feature(s) promised by the new Twitter chief in the past week.
From Friday, Twitter is starting its mass layoffs. A recent mail sent to the employees explained that the company is planning to sack a significant portion of its workforce. The employees have also been asked to go back home until they are notified otherwise.

However, there's no evidence that the outage is in any way linked to this.
The new Twitter chief has asked his employees to aggressively work on releasing some new features like a paid verification system and a new Twitter Blue subscription.
Elon Musk began the firing process with the top executives of the company which includes former CEO Parag Agrawal, former policy head Vijaya Gadde and the former CFO Ned Segal.
Firing them with immediate effect has also led to a massive bill for Musk. Agrawal's payout is expected to go as high as Rs 470 crore.
