Elon Musk, the boss of Tesla and SpaceX, had Crowdstrike’s software removed from his companies’ systems. He announced this decision on his platform X. The move follows a catastrophic global outage caused by a problematic update from the cybersecurity company, which crashed computer systems around the world.

Musk’s statement on social media was brief but clear: “We just removed Crowdstrike from all of our systems.” He also mentioned that the update “crippled the automotive supply chain.” However, Musk did not specify which companies were affected.

There was no mention of whether all of his companies, including startups like Neuralink and xAI, would follow this decision. According to a Bloomberg report, Musk did not respond to further questions about the matter.

In a follow-up post, Musk simply highlighted the impact of the chaos, stating: “Unfortunately, many of our suppliers and logistics companies use this software.”

Crowdstrike Shares Plummet

Crowdstrike’s shares, which were already under pressure from the chaos, plummeted further after Musk’s comments. At one point, shares on the New York Stock Exchange fell by 11 percent before recovering slightly.

The decline shows increasing investor concern about the potential loss of high-profile customers and the overall reputational damage to Crowdstrike. Although many of the issues caused by the chaos were repaired surprisingly quickly, the impact on industries like airlines could be felt for days.
