Elon Musk Resumes Sleeping in Work Spaces, such as Conferences and Factories.
In response to a significant two-hour outage on social media platform X, entrepreneur Elon Musk has announced his renewed focus on leading his businesses, particularly X. Musk pointed to operational issues this week as evidence that larger improvements are necessary.
Musk's pledge comes after weeks of close collaboration with the US government under President Donald Trump. However, recent developments seem to indicate that the government may no longer require Musk's involvement, leading him to devote more time to his companies.
The online service X suffered a data center failure, causing the outage affecting thousands of users worldwide. Musk's commitment to be "super focused" and his intention to work 24/7 suggest that he intends to strengthen engineering and operational teams, potentially improving incident response and monitoring systems.
The South Africa-born billionaire has a busy schedule as the owner or CEO of X, AI developer xAI with the chatbot Grok, electric vehicle maker Tesla, and space exploration company SpaceX. Recent announcements indicate that Musk will scale back his government activities.
SpaceX plans to launch its new giant rocket Starship into space next week, following two previous test flights with explosive top-stage failures. The company has not specified any changes in response to these challenges.
