After a two-hour outage at X, Elon Musk has announced his intention to spend more time focusing on his companies, particularly to address ongoing operational issues at X. According to Musk, substantial operational improvements are needed following this week's outage.
Musk, who has been an advisor to President Trump, has recently shifted his attention back to his various ventures, including X, the AI developer xAI with the chatbot Grok, Tesla, and SpaceX. The billionaire entrepreneur revealed he is working around the clock, seven days a week and is sleeping in conference, server, and factory rooms.
Over the past few weeks, Musk has been actively involved in the government department for state efficiency (Doge), pushing for massive cuts in the U.S. civil service with a stated goal of reducing costs. However, in light of the recent outage at X, Musk has recently reduced his activities in this department.
The outage affected users globally, with reports from the U.S., Canada, Peru, and Germany. Though a hacker group, Dark Storm, claimed responsibility for the outage, confirmation from X is still pending. The platform has experienced multiple outages, including a previous one due to a fire at a data center in Hillsboro, Oregon.
SpaceX announced plans for the next launch of its new giant rocket, Starship, scheduled for the coming week. The top stage of the rocket exploded in both previous test flights.
