'All-In' podcast host Jason Calacanis asked on X, "I guess crowdstrike doesn't do staged rollouts?" 

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."

Musk responded to Nadell's post by saying the IT disruption "gave a seizure to the automotive supply chain."

X users have been posting possible workarounds. 

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

Update (1055ET): 

Bloomberg reports IT disruptions could impact FedEx and United Parcel Service deliveries today:

FedEx is seeing "substantial disruptions throughout our networks" due to the third-party issues, it said in a statement on its website. The company is implementing contingency plans but said delays are likely for parcels scheduled for delivery Friday.

UPS said in a separate statement that some of its computer systems are being affected, and it is also looking at workarounds to minimize interruptions. Its planes continue to operate, and drivers are still on the road.

This follows Amazon's annual Prime Day shopping event this week. 

Update (1023ET): 

With the US cash market underway, shares of CrowdStrike are down about 10%, while Microsoft lost about half a percent. CrowdStrike confirmed earlier its Falcon Sensor threat-monitoring product sparked worldwide chaos and crashed Microsoft's Windows operating systems.
