Musk reveals intentions to work round the clock following crashes in X-Files series
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, calls for operational enhancements on his social media platform X following two outages within a week. The billionaire entrepreneur plans to revert to full-time work, potentially sleeping in office spaces such as conference rooms, server rooms, and production facilities.
On May 24, X, a platform owned by Musk, experienced a brief outage, affecting approximately 25,000 users. This incident followed an outage on May 22. Musk acknowledged the need for operational improvements in a post on X, stating, "Severe operational improvements are necessary."
Musk highlighted his focus on companies X /xAI and Tesla due to the deployment of essential technologies. By dedicating himself fully to these ventures, Musk aims to prevent future outages and maintain the competitive edge of X in the social media market.
Beyond the recent technical issues, The Washington Post reported that Musk decided to distance himself from politics for several reasons, including difficulties in achieving tangible results, concerns about personal safety, and disappointment with the impact of his financial resources on the political system.
Implementing advanced AI capabilities from xAI into X would contribute to improving the platform's functionality and user experience. Additionally, consolidating resources, such as data, models, compute, distribution, and talent, across xAI and X may unlock untapped potential.
Musk's increased attention to the operational efficiency of X is expected to reassure investors who have expressed concern over the platform's reliability in light of the recent outages. By focusing on enhancing redundancy, failover systems, technology rollouts, and committing to a 24/7 work schedule, Musk aims to upgrade X's stability and performance.
