Twitter glitches after internal change leads to 'unintended consequences'
Elon Musk said that his social media platform is 'so brittle'
Public Ventures president and chief market strategist Lou Basenese reacts to reports Twitter is planning to cut more jobs on 'Cavuto: Coast to Coast.'
Twitter users experienced glitches for a period of more than an hour on Monday.
Users reported images not loading and links not working, and The Associated Press said trying to visit Twitter's help page led to an error message.
According to the site Downdetector, users began reporting the outages shortly before noon Eastern time.
"Some parts of Twitter may not be working as expected right now. We made an internal change that had some unintended consequences. We’re working on this now and will share an update when it’s fixed," Twitter support tweeted.
