More than 25,000 reports of issues with the social media platform were tracked at the height of X’s outage over the weekend.
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.
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.”
The CEO said he must stay “super focused” on his companies X, xAI, Tesla, and SpaceX, “as we have critical technologies rolling out.”

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.
“Either a large, coordinated group and/or a country is involved,” he said at the time.
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.”
