In May, Musk, who spent nearly $300 million to back U.S. President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and other Republicans last year, said he’ll resume working ’24/7′ at his companies.

“Back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in conference/server/factory rooms. I must be super focused on X/xAI and Tesla (plus Starship launch next week), as we have critical technologies rolling out,” Musk had said in an X post.

“As evidenced by the X uptime issues this week, major operational improvements need to be made,” he added.
