Musk Cuts Political Ties, Shifts Attention Back to Tesla, X
(MENAFN) Elon Musk has reaffirmed his intention to shift his full attention back to his business empire, reiterating a previous commitment to step away from political activities and sever his remaining ties with the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.
The billionaire entrepreneur—who heads Tesla, SpaceX, and owns the social media platform X—recently disclosed that he is scaling down his role as leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This entity, launched by Trump in January to spearhead aggressive federal budget cuts, had seen Musk take a prominent position.
“Back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in conference/server/factory rooms,” Musk posted Saturday on X. “I must be super focused on X/xAI and Tesla (plus Starship launch next week), as we have critical technologies rolling out.”
His remarks followed a significant two-hour disruption on X, during which users were unable to log in, load posts, or refresh their timelines. According to sources, the platform peaked at over 25,800 user-submitted outage reports around 12:50 GMT.
“As evidenced by the X uptime issues this week, major operational improvements need to be made,” Musk acknowledged, noting that “the failover redundancy should have worked, but did not.”
