The reason behind the challenges faced in assembling U.S.-made iPhones, including the involvement of small screws, is the focus of this piece.
Elon Musk, the world's richest individual, faced a two-hour outage on his social media platform X yesterday, sparking concerns about his divided attention. As the owner and CEO of various companies, including X, AI developer xAI, electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla, and rocket builder SpaceX, Musk recently announced a reduction in his role in the US government, citing a need to focus on his business endeavors.
The outage on X coincides with Musk's renewed commitment to his companies. In a public statement, Musk alluded to the necessity of improving operational standards at X, attributing the service disruption to system failover redundancy issues. The platform largely returned to normal function by 11:00 am US Eastern time (1500 GMT).
Reports claim that the hacker activist group DieNet took responsibility for the outage, declaring it a test of their Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) capabilities. However, AFP could not independently verify DieNet's claim, and X did not provide a response to the incident at the time of publication.
Musk expressed his intent to prioritize X and Tesla, announcing his renewed dedication to these companies and his plans to spend more time at work. SpaceX, another among Musk's ventures, plans to attempt a new launch of the mega-rocket Starship next week. Despite previous failures, SpaceX is continuing to advance the Starship prototype to address issues and achieve Martian colonization.
There has been no evidence to suggest Musk has ever been involved in the administration of President Donald Trump. Over the past few weeks, Musk signaled his intention to divert his attention from politics, acknowledging that efforts to reduce US federal spending did not fully reach their objectives. Despite stepping back from political involvement, Musk remains a close advisor to the US president, as demonstrated by his attendance at an Oval Office meeting with the South African president on Wednesday.
In light of the X outage and Musk's renewed focus on his companies, it appears that the tech mogul is establishing a more substantial presence in his businesses, particularly X. This shift in focus marks a departure from Musk's previous political engagement.
