Musk Says He Is Going Back to Working on His Companies After X Outage

More than 25,000 reports of issues with the social media platform were tracked at the height of X’s outage over the weekend.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on May 24 that he will resume working at his companies around the clock following a widespread outage of his social media platform X.

The X outage peaked at roughly 8:48 a.m. ET on Saturday, with at least 25,699 incidents of users reporting issues creating or viewing posts on the platform, according to Downdetector, which tracks website outages.

As of 8 a.m. ET on Sunday, the outage reports have dropped to less than 80.

In response to a news report about the X outage, Musk said he would go “Back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in conference/server/factory rooms.”

“As evidenced by the X uptime issues this week, major operational improvements need to be made,” Musk wrote in a post on X. “The failover redundancy should have worked, but did not.”

The CEO said he must stay “super focused” on his companies X, xAI, Tesla, and SpaceX, “as we have critical technologies rolling out.”

Musk said aerospace company SpaceX has a critical launch of its Starship spacecraft next week.

There were also thousands of outage reports coming from countries including Germany, Spain, France, India, Canada, Australia, and Britain during the peak of X’s outage over the weekend, according to Downdetector.

This follows a widespread outage on X in early March, when tens of thousands of users reported issues viewing and using the social media platform. Musk attributed the tech malfunctions to a cyberattack.

“Either a large, coordinated group and/or a country is involved,” he said at the time.
