Twitter Inc. has restored services hours after thousands of users worldwide reported glitches and other issues, one of the more significant disruptions since Elon Musk’s $44 billion takeover triggered the loss of three-quarters of its workforce.

More than 9,000 users at one point reported problems accessing the service, data from Downdetector showed. Users from San Francisco to Tokyo and Hong Kong said they experienced trouble logging into their accounts or encountered a variety of error messages early Thursday in Asia. The number of glitches reported to Downdetector was down to just a handful by the afternoon.
