He may be the richest man in the world, but - as his glitch-prone conversation with Donald Trump showed - it seems Elon Musk still can't overcome X's technical problems.
Mr Musk's interview with the presidential hopeful was delayed by 40 minutes while the platform struggled with tech issues.

There is another, more prosaic, explanation for what happened: the deep cuts to the company's workforce that Mr Musk instigated.
“Spaces has historically folded when large numbers of users have entered this area of X", said Jake Moore, Global Cybersecurity Advisor at cyber security firm ESET.

"This also may have been escalated due to the fact Mr Musk laid off large swathes of employees when he took control of the platform.”
His thoughts were echoed by Rashik Parmar, head of BCS, the chartered institute for IT, who said even if it was a cyber attack, "firing 80%" of the firm's engineers was always going to have "a significant impact".
"Engineers are at the forefront of defending against these cyber threats," he said.
