‘Back to 24/7 at work’: Elon Musk after global X (Twitter) outage, promises fixes

Following a global outage of X, its owner, Elon Musk, on Saturday said he is working around the clock, sleeping in conference, server, and factory rooms to focus on critical technology rollouts at X, xAI, and Tesla. 

He acknowledged the platform’s uptime issues and said major operational improvements are necessary, as failover redundancy systems failed to work as intended.

“Back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in conference/server/factory rooms. I must be super focused on 𝕏/xAI and Tesla (plus Starship launch next week), as we have critical technologies rolling out,” he said in a post on X (formerly Twitter). 

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