The post shared by the Tesla owner also shows a man watching while calmly smoking a cigarette, indicating that he represents the X platform that did not reach the fault.
This came after a series of technical problems on Friday stopped the services of airlines, banks, airlines, stock exchanges and television channels from working on a large scale around the world, which began with the disruption of cloud computing services from Microsoft.
Major American airlines ordered the suspension of flights on Friday due to communications problems, and other airlines, media outlets, banks and telecommunications companies around the world reported disruption of operations due to the Internet outage.
On its part, Microsoft announced that it is investigating an issue affecting several Microsoft 365 applications and services.
