Starlink users in the US and worldwide face a major outage

Starlink's network just faceplanted—hard. Thousands of users across the US and worldwide are staring at dead terminals, blank screens, and the eerie silence of disconnected crypto traders mid-leverage play.

When the satellites stop talking

No 'technical difficulties' PR spin can sugarcoat this: Elon Musk's sky-high internet backbone just went limp. No backup systems kicked in. No graceful failover. Just digital radio silence—unless you count the collective screaming of day traders who just got liquidated thanks to SpaceX's bad hair day.

Satellite roulette

Remember when Starlink was the 'uncensorable' web for the crypto elite? Today it's just another single point of failure—with a side of irony for anyone who paid in Dogecoin. The lesson? Even billionaire rocket boys can't outrun the oldest law in tech: everything fails eventually. Especially during earnings season.

The full scope of the outage is not clear yet

At this stage, the full scope of the outage is not clear. Posts on X and Reddit show people in the US, Africa, Europe, Australia, and Asia complaining about offline connections with messages that say “no healthy upstream.” Across several continents, users have said their connections got cut out without warning.

This is not Starlink’s first major outage, but such events have been rare. More details are expected soon.
