After X outage, Elon Musk returns to full-time focus on Tesla, xAI, and SpaceX operations.

Musk doubles down on core companies following platform disruptions

Elon Musk says he will now spend “24/7” working on Tesla, xAI, and SpaceX following a temporary outage at his social platform, X. The focus keyphrase, Musk says he’ll resume working 24/7, reflects his return to operational leadership.

At the peak of the outage, Downdetector recorded over 25,000 reports of X failing in the U.S. and globally. However, by midday, the service was largely restored, demonstrating Musk’s rapid response mindset.

In a post on X, Musk stated he is “back to sleeping in conference, server, and factory rooms.”

He emphasized critical rollouts at Tesla and a scheduled Starship launch next week, reinforcing urgency across his ventures.

Musk cuts political spending to reassure Tesla investors

Musk announced he will scale back political activity and spending, including DOGE-related government cuts. As a result, investors expect him to devote more consistent time to Tesla and X, especially after recent disruptions.

Musk’s decision follows backlash in the U.S. and Europe over his political affiliations and Tesla’s falling sales. Transitioning back to business, Musk told investors last month he would reduce DOGE involvement to one or two days weekly.

Protesters criticized Musk’s role in eliminating jobs and government programs, impacting Tesla’s public image. Nevertheless, Musk remains confident that demand for Tesla products remains strong despite political turbulence.
