Elon Musk Deletes CrowdStrike "From All Systems," Warns Global IT Disruption Sparked "Seizure In Auto Supply Chain"

 Elon Musk responded: "We just deleted Crowdstrike from all our systems, so no rollouts at all."

X users asked Musk if CrowdStrike was deleted from the computers of all his companies, including SpaceX, Tesla, X, xAI, The Boring Company, and Neuralink.

Earlier, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadell wrote on X, "Yesterday, CrowdStrike released an update that began impacting IT systems globally.We are aware of this issue and are working closely with CrowdStrike and across the industry to provide customers technical guidance and support to safely bring their systems back online."

The global IT disruption caused by CrowdStrike has been disruptive on so many levels.

CrowdStrike confirmed earlier its Falcon Sensor threat-monitoring product sparked worldwide chaos and crashed Microsoft's Windows operating systems.

Early Friday, a global IT outage caused by an issue with cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike disrupted flights, banks, retailers, stock exchanges, 911 call centers, and media outlets.

Crowdstrike tumbled as much as 14%. CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz posted on X that the company is "Actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts. Mac and Linux hosts are not impacted."
