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 May 24, with at least 25,699 incidents of users reporting issues creating or viewing posts on the platform, <a href="https://downdetector.com/status/twitter/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">according</a> to Downdetector, which tracks website outages.

As of 8 a.m. ET on May 25, the outage reports had 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 <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1926289580623380780" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">post</a> 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 <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/elon-musk-announces-massive-cyberattack-causing-x-outage-5823029" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">reported</a> 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.

On May 20, Musk <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/musk-signals-pullback-from-political-spending-ive-done-enough-5860677" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">said</a> he was planning to reduce his involvement in the political arena after becoming a top surrogate of the 2024 Trump presidential campaign and current adviser to President Donald Trump, who tapped the CEO to lead his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) earlier this year.

Musk also said he will be doing "a lot less" political spending, adding that he thinks he has "done enough" following his investments into key races, including the 2024 presidential election, and a Wisconsin Supreme Court election in April, in which his candidate, Brad Schimel, lost to Susan Crawford.

"If I see a reason to do political spending in the future, I will do it," Musk said on May 20. "I do not currently see a reason."
