Elon Musk resumes dwelling in meeting rooms and production facilities once more.
Elon Musk has announced a renewed focus on operational improvements across his diverse portfolio of companies, following a two-hour outage at X – the online service he acquired from Jack Dorsey earlier this year. In a series of tweets, Musk expressed the need for larger operational improvements, citing the issues experienced by X over the past week.
The outage, attributed to a data center failure, impacted thousands of users worldwide, with app-related difficulties and website access problems reported by over 6,000 users[4]. Reports of the outage were widespread, with significant issues noted in the U.S., Canada, Peru, and Germany, although the impact was less severe in India[2][4].
As the CEO of X as well as AI developer xAI and the electric car maker Tesla, and with involvement in the space company SpaceX, Musk has an exceptionally busy schedule. Although he has been actively advising President Trump on government efficiency, Musk recently announced a scaling back of this activity[1].
Speaking on the recent outage at X, Musk emphasized the importance of focusing on critical technology rollouts at Tesla, indicating a significant push towards innovation[3]. Moreover, the xAI division is a priority for Musk, as he focuses on advancing AI technologies that could potentially be integrated into his other ventures.
Next week, SpaceX is planning to launch its new giant rocket Starship into space again. The top stage of the rocket exploded in both previous test flights[5]. Musk's operational focus for SpaceX will be ensuring that all technical and logistical aspects are well-prepared for the forthcoming launch.
