But 𝕏 and Starlink didn’t skip a beat

@elonmusk Don't blame AWS, it is poorly archlchitected systems that had all their eggs in the US East basket. No redundancy, no fail over, no load balancing. 99.9% availability is what AWS publishes which is 8.5 hours of downtime each year. If you need 99.999% uptime, you need to use

@elonmusk Outages for period 2024 to now X: 7 Starlink: 6 AWS: 3 That's 13 total for Elon Musk.

@elonmusk If your CTO’s pants look like this, you don’t have to worry about AWS being down

@elonmusk @elonmusk I would be happy to share with you why @RunOnFlux fixes this

@elonmusk Still subject to it Meanwhile, I thought (from literally 2012 AWS Cloud Architecture courses) a best practice was to create regional redundancy? Been 13+ years for me though so maybe I'm misremembering Genuinely asking.

@elonmusk I say you make sure there is a micro-datacenter scattered within your satellites. Even if it is a TB per satellite with a normal server’s compute. A big outage.. all of us with Starlink would flip on our Starlink and get back to work, with whomever subscribes to your

@elonmusk Everyone coming to 𝕏 to find out why other platforms are down I guess you could say 𝕏 is King

@elonmusk I was literally talking about this point of failure today. With the technology at hand it’s crazy this is still a vulnerability

@elonmusk There is a newer option @dfinity @dominic_w they fix this

@elonmusk My starlink goes out at the same time every day 😬 when I’m on my phone. No other devices do. There must be an issue I’m thinking with compatibility with iPhone 14?

@elonmusk Elon they have brought FTTP to my doorstep. Can you match their price of 50 a month and I'll keep using starlink :)

@elonmusk When that Solar Flare hits its gonna be Amish Paradise

@elonmusk @googlecloud also didn't do too bad. Same with @Akamai

@elonmusk The ripples of AWS cloud outage were even seen directly in the Brazilian national (!!) payment system PIX. I tried to pay mini bill via PIX at rural market of Amazonas rainforest and just got stuck. Banking apps with errors (!). Here, I must ask: How come that a nations payment

@elonmusk Yeahhhhh.........🤨🤨😏😏?

@elonmusk And the irony is Signal lost its signal! 🤣

@elonmusk I've been telling people for years to stop putting absolutely everything on cloud hosting. All of our stuff in one place is stupid. Any company who has an internal IT department should host their own stuff.

@elonmusk All Went South

@elonmusk Starlink 💯

@elonmusk Starlink is expensive. Will make cloud and all apps expensive.

@elonmusk Spaces were cooked today sir c’mon

@elonmusk turtle theory i'm telling you

@elonmusk on prem + multi cloud disaster recovery ?

@elonmusk Build your own stack to rely on yourself

@elonmusk We freaking love our starlink.

@elonmusk Makes sense!

@elonmusk Exactly, you make a great products... well, products.

@elonmusk All the businesses that operate within CorKat Data Solutions, didn't skip a beat either.

@elonmusk US should think about how to make the last mile more robust. U.S. ISPs/last-mile + peering is way to fault prone. Starlink working in DE while a U.S. connection hiccups illustrates that satellites can route around our terrestrial bottlenecks.

@elonmusk I can see it now... After a nuclear holocaust, everyone else will be banging rocks, but users of the Musk family of products will be getting the news of where to go to load up onto the Mars ships, because we'll all have Starlink and secure 𝕏-based comms.

@elonmusk Did not affect anything useful. Got my news on X with my Starlink connection at home and in my office.

@elonmusk Honestly, getting rid of Spectrum internet and switching to Starlink is one of the better decisions I’ve made. Support companies that are building future!!!

@elonmusk The entire internet goes down worldwide… but X doesn’t even flinch. That’s a flex lmao.

@elonmusk Wait till they discover all companies run on Microsoft

@elonmusk While the shutdown is bad, this was a signal that the internet has one point of control. Politically and socially, it is not safe for the world.

@elonmusk Everyone who watches this video may understand that Amazon might be overrated. Amazon generates very little excess cash even though it’s a 31 years old company (ain’t no startup) with over $2T in MCap. Essentially Amazon’s business ex AWS is cash flow negative. How else would it
