At the time, Elon Musk said his focus would now be solely on his businesses and he would resume working '24/7' at his companies. He posted on X, '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. As evidenced by the X uptime issues this week, major operational improvements need to be made.'
