Elon Musk Commits to '24/7' Work Following X Outage; Focus on Tesla, SpaceX, and Government Role

Elon Musk Dedicates Himself to '24/7' Work After X Outage

Following a significant outage on the social media platform X, Elon Musk has committed to working around the clock, focusing on his various companies, including X, Tesla, and SpaceX. This announcement comes after a period of disruption that impacted a large number of users.

Focus on Key Technologies

Musk emphasized his intense focus on 𝕏/xAI and Tesla, particularly with the upcoming Starship launch. He stated that there are critical technologies rolling out that require his full attention.

Addressing Operational Issues at X

The recent X outage, which affected tens of thousands of users in the U.S. and worldwide, underscored the need for operational improvements. Musk acknowledged that failover redundancy should have worked but did not, necessitating immediate action.

Reduced Role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)

While previously dedicating significant time to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk plans to scale back his involvement. He aims to contribute one to two days a week, traveling to Washington D.C. every other week. DOGE has a goal to cut $2 trillion from the U.S. budget. Musk indicated his time reduction there comes as Tesla faces sales challenges.
