The social media company controlled by Tesla CEO (TSLA) Elon Musk, Twitter (TWTR), is experiencing issues ahead of an event likely to generate social media attention for the automaker he helms. 
According to DownDetector, Twitter was experiencing significant outages throughout early morning hours in the United States with users unable to access the platform. In addition to an inability to login, numerous users reported issues in terms of new tweets not loading, search functions failing, and the following tab malfunctioning. Issues are reportedly impacting both the mobile app and the website.
Thousands of malfunctions were reported to DownDetector, peaking at about 5:40 AM ET before subsiding. At about 6:25 AM ET, however, reports of problems began to climb once again.
#WelcometoTwitter, the message users got instead of their timelines, was trending through the morning.
Neither Twitter Support nor Musk has addressed the issues as of yet.
