Elon Musk once again found himself dozing off in conference rooms and factories.
Elon Musk Returns Focus to Companies After X Outage
In the wake of a two-hour service disruption on X, co-founder Elon Musk has announced his renewed commitment to lead his companies. Musk expressed concern over the operational issues, stating that larger improvements are necessary to address such incidents.
During his time as an advisor to the U.S. President, Musk has been a driving force behind the government department for state efficiency (Doge). However, he has recently decided to redirect his efforts to his various businesses, including X, xAI, Tesla, SpaceX, and now, reportedly focusing more on the operations and stability of X.
The outage on X, affecting both the app and web versions, follows a series of disruptions over the weekend, including a previous outage linked to a fire at a data center in Hillsboro, Oregon, which X leases. While no definitive cause for the latest outage has been determined, hacker groups have made claims suggesting coordinated cyberattacks may have played a role in some previous instances.
Musk's renewed dedication to X indicates a heightened focus on securing and stabilizing the platform's infrastructure. His commitment to working around the clock and even sleeping in the office showcases his determination to restore user trust and improve platform performance.
In related news, SpaceX has announced plans for the upcoming launch of its new giant rocket, Starship, into space next week. Despite two failed test flights, the company remains optimistic and looks forward to another attempt.
