Billionaire Elon Musk said he needs to be “super focused” on his companies, pointing to issues at X as evidence of a need for “major” improvement at the social network.
“Back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in conference/server/factory rooms,” Musk wrote in a post on X on Saturday replying to news of outages on the platform. “I must be super focused on X/xAI and Tesla (plus Starship launch next week), as we have critical technologies rolling out.”
Users reported problems with X Friday and Saturday, according to DownDetector. A post from the company’s engineering team also said it was facing issues from a data center outage.
“As evidenced by the X uptime issues this week, major operational improvements need to be made,” Musk said.
Musk, the world’s richest man, earlier this year indicated he would allocate more time to Tesla as he pulls back from his work with the federal cost-cutting effort dubbed the Department of Government Efficiency. More recently, he said he would scale back his political spending.
