This is not a "Microsoft outage". The outage is related to a third-party cybersecurity product called Crowdstrike. Microsoft and Windows are unaffected, this specifically affects Windows PC's running Crowdstrike software. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2024/07/19/crowdstrike-windows-outage-what-happened-and-what-to-do-next/

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1814180385213108564
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
