Best memes on Facebook and Meta being down – with savage Elon Musk dig – The Mirror
People have been left flocking to X, formerly Twitter, after noticing that Facebook and Instagram have gone down – and some are sharing hilarious memes about the unfolding drama
The internet has gone wild after realising Facebook and Instagram are down, with some panicking they'd been hacked.
The gremlins appear to have started at around 3pm for users with the outage still ongoing and no word on when it will be fixed. Thousands of social media users are unable to access the services in a widespread tech meltdown.
Naturally, people have been flocking to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts on the nightmare – and some people's reactions are hilarious.
From cheeky Elon Musk memes to hilarious jokes about engineers trying to fix the issue, the responses are providing much-needed entertainment while we're all stuck refreshing our Instagram and Facebook apps. Domino's Pizza has even waded in on the banter.
Facebook and Instagram users are being greeted with a "session expired" or "unexpected error" message. This issue appears to be affecting users globally.
Downdetector, which monitors outages across the globe, is showing over 160,000 reports of Facebook being down, and Instagram stands at over 40,000 error reports, making this one of the biggest issues for Meta (which owns both of these platforms) in years.
One X user joked that Elon Musk would be feeling pretty happy about Meta going down, because X hasn't been impacted, and people are flocking to the social media to continue their conversations in the absence of other socials.
Another jibed "Facebook down Instagram down Meta struggling Facebook and IG. Meanwhile X Users", and posted a clip of people rolling around with laughter.
Someone else hilariously shared a picture of a man on a ladder surrounded by wires, penning: "Facebook and Instagram HQ interns trying to fix the servers."
Another penned: "Facebook and IG are down – time to bust out your dictionary. Let's. Go", with someone responding: "Here are a few random dictionary words: 1. Serendipity 2. Melancholy 3. Ephemeral 4. Resilience 5. Magnanimous."
Someone else on X said: "Facebook and Twitter are down everyone coming back to Twitter", sharing a video of hundreds of people running.
Domino's Pizza then entered the chat, sharing a video of someone pulling out a wire saying "whoopsy", writing: "Live scenes at Meta HQ", acknowledging that Facebook was down.
Someone responded saying they found it funny that people were flocking to X saying "help me please" because the other social media platforms were down.
Another X poster shared a picture of Mark Zuckerberg, messing with wires, writing: "Chill guys. Wait few minutes everything will be solved."
A hilarious user showed a meme, saying: "Instagram users coming to X to see if Instagram is down", showing messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook in a fight, and X being totally unbothered by the situation.
Someone else showed a video of someone having a tantrum, penning: "Me after trying to reset my password 25 times and still can't log back in bc I think my FB is getting hacked only to realise that FB and IG is down", which is seriously relatable to many across the world right now.
Another shared a video of Mr Bean looking at his watch, writing: "People waiting for Facebook and Insta to restart."
