The outage lasted about 40 minutes, but apparently affected a variety of the social media platforms services.

A company spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The company sued Elon Musk this week after he informed its board of directors that he was ending his $44 billion deal to purchase the company. Twitter disputes Musk’s stated reason for exiting the transaction, arguing that it has supplied him with requested information on fake accounts.

Twitter support posted a notice to users: “Some of you are having issues accessing Twitter and we’re working to get it back up and running for everyone. Thanks for sticking with us.”

More to come.
