Elon Musk once more found sleeping in conference rooms and factories.
Musk Shifts Focus Back to Companies After X Outage
In the wake of a two-hour outage on the online service X, entrepreneur Elon Musk has announced a renewed commitment to leading his companies, including X, Tesla, and the AI developer xAI with the chatbot Grok.
The outage on Wednesday prompted Musk to address operational improvements needed within X. He stated, "As the service issues this week have shown, larger operational improvements are required."
During his time in service for U.S. President Trump, Musk has been heavily involved in pushing for massive cuts in the civil service with the goal of reducing costs. However, he has now decided to scale back this activity to focus more on his companies. Musk spoke of returning to a grueling 24/7 work schedule, revealing that he intended to sleep in conference, server, and factory rooms.
The billionaire businessman faces a busy schedule, not only managing X and Tesla but also the aerospace company SpaceX. SpaceX recently announced plans for the launch of its new giant rocket Starship into space next week, following two test flights ended in explosion.
Musk's recent political involvement, particularly with the government department for state efficiency (Doge), has consumed significant time over the past six months. Although details about the cause of the X outage remain unclear, the incident has highlighted the importance of stronger infrastructure resilience, particularly in data centers.
Musk will now direct his attention towards critical technologies and projects, including the upcoming launch of the Starship. With vital technological advancements on the horizon, Musk's focus on his companies is crucial to their continued success.
