Elon Musk found once more reclining in business meeting rooms and factory sites.
Elon Musk, the CEO of several tech companies including X and Tesla, has announced a renewed focus on his corporate ventures following a recent two-hour outage on the online service X. In a statement after the outage, Musk stated that "larger operational improvements are needed" to mitigate similar issues in the future.
Musk, who had been actively involved in the Trump administration's Department for State Efficiency (Doge) until recently, explained that he would be spending significant more time with his companies. This shift in focus is likely to have an impact on Tesla, SpaceX, and the AI developer xAI, among others.
In response to the outage, Musk has committed to devoting extra attention to X and its chatbot Grok, as well as Tesla, with plans to "bring important technologies to market." SpaceX, too, will receive increased attention in the coming weeks, with the scheduled launch of its spacecraft Starship currently set for next week. Previous test flights of the Starship resulted in the top stage of the rocket exploding.
Musk has also been instrumental in advocating for cost and personnel reductions in government services. However, he has announced that he will be scaling back his political activities to invest more time in his core businesses. This decision coincides with heightened focus on the groups' technological advancement and operational efficiency.
