Washington: Elon Musk took the blame for a major accident on his social media platform, X.
After the site fell two hours on Saturday, he said that big changes were needed and promised to start working again 24 hours a day to solve problems and focus more on his businesses.
The billionaire has an extraordinarily complete plate as owner / CEO of X, XAI (developer of the Grok chatbot), the Tesla electric car manufacturer and SpaceX, rocket manufacturer – not to mention his recent polarizing efforts to help Donald Trump reduce thousands of US government.
While the counterou for these job cuts increased and the courses in Tesla shares have slipped, Musk began to move away from the role of government and to return to his original work.
On Saturday, after the failure of X, he suggested that he could have been absent for too long.
“As evidenced by X’s availability problems this week, major operational improvements should be made,” he said.
“Back to spend 24/7 at work and sleep in conference / server / factory rooms,” published the businessman born in South Africa on X.
“I must be super focused on X / XAI and Tesla (plus the launch of Starship next week) because we have critical technologies.”
From X failure, he said: “Tilting redundancy should have worked, but not.”
X had largely returned to normal service at 11:00 am on Saturday (1500 GMT).
Contacted by AFP for comments, the company did not respond immediately.
SpaceX announced on Friday that he planned to try a new launch of his sports mega of sport next week. Still under development, Starship exploded in flight during two previous launches.
Musk recognized at the beginning of the month that his ambitious efforts to reduce American federal spending, led by his government ministry (DOGE), have not fully achieved its objectives despite tens of thousands of employment and drastic budget reductions.
