Elon Musk has sharply criticized Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella, describing the recent global Windows outage as having caused significant disruptions across various sectors, including the automotive supply chain.
Despite his companies Tesla, SpaceX, and the X social media platform remaining operational, Musk highlighted the widespread impact on suppliers linked to the CrowdStrike-Microsoft outage.
Musk expressed frustration over the outage’s effect on Tesla’s supply chain, noting that many of Tesla’s suppliers experienced severe issues due to the incident.
“We just deleted CrowdStrike from all our systems, so no rollouts at all,” Musk stated.
