Several users of X (formerly Twitter) were puzzled on May 24 when their timelines began showing posts with a timestamp of “01 Jan 70.” The issue appeared shortly after the platform experienced a global outage, prompting confusion over whether the platform had glitched or time-traveled.

As of this writing, Elon Musk’s X has not issued a formal explanation for the error or its link to the platform disruption.
Outage details
X experienced a major global outage earlier in the evening on May 24. Downdetector showed over 25,000 incident reports by 6:07 PM IST. About 68% were related to the app, 24% to the website, and 8% to server connections. Users reported being unable to log in, post, or view timelines. The glitch seems to have followed this disruption.
