Elon Musk Trolls Microsoft After Global Outage
On Friday, chaos erupted worldwide thanks to a major Microsoft outage triggered by a glitchy update in CrowdStrike’s security software. The faulty update hit CrowdStrike’s Falcon Sensor driver hard, leading to dreaded blue screens of death on many Windows systems. Users were greeted with the frustrating “Recovery: It looks like Windows didn’t load correctly” message, leaving many baffled and irked.
The fallout was significant. Over 1,000 flights were canceled globally, throwing travel plans into disarray and creating logistical headaches for airlines and passengers alike. Businesses relying on Windows systems faced delays, and employees were left stranded without access to their work.
CrowdStrike quickly owned up to their update being the culprit. Meanwhile, social media, especially X (formerly Twitter), exploded with memes about the mishap. Elon Musk, ever the meme enthusiast, couldn’t resist getting in on the action, sharing a cryptic tweet poking fun at Microsoft. The incident not only underscored the massive impact of tech glitches but also showcased how the internet loves to mix humor with adversity.
