Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk on Friday said that the EV company was affected by the recent global IT outage which gave a ‘seizure’ to the automotive supply chain.
What Happened: A software update of U.S. cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike Holdings‘ CRWD Falcon platform on Thursday night led to widespread disruptions in Microsoft Corp‘s MSFT systems, pushing critical global services such as airports, ports, financial institutions, and hospitals to a standstill. The issue stemmed from the CrowdStrike update conflicting with Microsoft’s Windows operating system, leading to a blue screen of death (BSOD) issue for Windows users.
Musk on Friday said that the disruption in Microsft systems gave a “seizure” to the automotive supply chain. The CEO confirmed in a post on X that Tesla deleted Crowdtrike from all of its systems but it was still affected as many of its suppliers and logistics companies “unfortunately” use it.
