Elon Musk Back to '24/7' Work at Tesla, X, and xAI After X Outage
Following a significant outage that impacted tens of thousands of users across the United States and other countries, Elon Musk has announced a renewed, intense focus on his companies: Tesla, X (formerly Twitter), and xAI.
X Outage and Restoration
The social media platform X experienced a major outage, tracked by Downdetector, which recorded over 25,800 incident reports at its peak. The outage has since been resolved, with reports significantly decreasing.
Musk's Commitment
In an X post, Musk stated he is "back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in conference/server/factory rooms." He emphasized the need to be "super focused" on the three companies due to critical technologies being rolled out, including the anticipated Starship launch.
Investor Concerns and Political Spending
Musk's renewed commitment follows concerns from investors regarding his time allocation. He recently reduced his political spending after substantial backing of Donald Trump's presidential campaign. This political involvement triggered protests against Tesla and negatively impacted sales.
Musk aims to alleviate investor concerns and prioritize the technological advancements within his companies.
